These are doors I saw during 2024 that I didn’t manage to share plus one a friend sent me that he thought I’d like and he was right, I do!

Through the thicket I spied this old barn and there are doors on that old van too.

Another barn. This is one of the last images I took in 2024. I spied this barn while doing the Christmas Bird Count in my county on the 29th of December. It was a very cold, windy, rainy, snow flurries day so my partner and I only saw 23 species during our time out. I loved the Copula door. I imagine Owls using it.

Fishy Door. Every door had a fish over it. I’d bet money who ever lives here fishes.

A Red Shed that could use some TLC.

This is the door(s) to the laundry room at a favorite campground.

This is the door a friend sent me that he saw while in London and thought of me. Isn’t it gorgeous! Doesn’t the portico look like it’s made of cherry wood?

That’s it for my 2024 doors. I hope 2025 has lots of interesting doors in it for us all.

Thursday Doors- Quaker Steak & Lube

After several hours of birding my birding partner and I were hungry so went looking for a place fairly close by to have some lunch. We found Quaker Steak & Lube.

This is the only one in FL going by their website. We both had salads and I failed to take a photo of either of them. It was just a Caesar Salad w/grilled chicken. Instead of croutons they served it with Cheese Curds. Now, I thought that sounded gross and would probably just pick them out, but after trying one I gobbled them up! They were warm and slightly gooy and tender on the inside yummy. Mary had the Biker Chick salad. It sounded delicious too, but it was on the sweet side and I was hot and wasn’t in the mood for sweet.

The inside of the restaurant is car themed. Each wing of the interior has a small sports racing car hanging from the ceiling, and lots of car memorabilia like a dividing wall full of MAC tools for fixing cars. I went back a second time for that salad and this time He-Man was with me he said he has some of those tools. Who knew?!

Anyway, I did get photos of the exterior and the doors.

Look at the door pulls. I thought they were neat.

Most of their restaurants seem to be in OH. Do you have one in your city/state? Have you been there?

Thursday Doors-Guest Doors

These aren’t Guest in the sense your mind probably went to when thinking about Guest doors, no. These doors were sent to me from a friend who lives in CT but, wishes to be anonymous for the time being.

She moved to CT oh, 4-5 years ago…time flies! Anyway a couple of weeks back she sent me an email saying,

“I visited Gillette Castle in Connecticut over the weekend and they had the most beautiful interior doors, all hand carved and I thought of you 🙂 Here are just a few but there were many! There were three stories’ worth and each one was unique. The castle was fascinating!”

She didn’t include the stories or details but, we have her images of three of the doors.

The door knobs are interesting. They’re wood!

*Image used with permission from photographer*

She included a close up the door knob as the third image. Those door knobs are different! The doors remind me of quilts with their square patterned designs.

I looked up the castle and it does look beautiful and interesting.

Here’s something about those door knobs.

“Gillette designed 47 one of kind doors made from Southern White Oak found on the property. They were all hand carved. Each door has a unique, elaborate latch intricately carved of wood.”

Here’s a little intro about the castle from the website:

” Atop the most southerly hill of a chain of hills known as the Seven Sisters sits the retirement estate of noted actor, director, and playwright William Hooker Gillette. Named the Seventh Sister by Gillette, the property’s focal point is a 24-room stone mansion reminiscent of a medieval castle”. There’s a photo of the castle at the link and lots more information about the man and more photos.

The doors are lovely. Don’t you love our door enabling friends!

Here’s a BIG SHOUT OUT to my friend in CT for sending me these beautiful and interesting doors.🥰 May she continue to send me doors to share with you!

Thursday Doors- The Pumphouse +1

January 20, 2022January 20, 2022Posted in Doors, Nikon, Photography, Thursday DoorsTagged bush, creek, D810, door, Nikon, Oak Trees, Pumphouse, slow shutter, Thursday Doors, Trees, Wood Cabin36 Comments

I’ve been wanting to photograph this pumphouse for a year and finally did. It’s a cute structure I think and it only holds the well water pump and water softener unit.

Not too far below this pumphouse is a lovely creek that I hiked through the bush to get down to in order to photograph some of it. Here’s one image from that adventure.

I did a fairly good job of avoiding the wild blackberry thorns, and poison oak ones too, but still had to pick off some stickers when back up on the road. 😀

Thursday Doors- Picnic find

September 9, 2021September 8, 2021Posted in Doors, Photography, Thursday DoorsTagged iPhone 7Plus, Little Free Library, Pink Doors, Thursday Doors35 Comments

On the way to Baby Girl’s last week we stopped to pick up some lunch from a burger joint and took it across the road to eat in the park for an impromptu picnic. (Sorry, no burger pic this time) I forgot to take a picture!

It’s at the park that I saw this little Free Library and loved the pink doors. Sadly, there were no children’s books in it. I’m going to get some to add to it since it’s likely we’ll be stopping for burgers and fries and eat in this park again.

Thursday Doors Vintage Wood Stove

May 4, 2017May 4, 2017Posted in Doors, Nikon, Photography, Thursday DoorsTagged Cultivated Flowers, Daffodil Hill Farm, Daffodils, Nikon, Photography, Rust, Thursday Doors, Vintage, Vintage Wood Stove, Volcano CA37 Comments

I haven’t been posting door(s) weekly on Thursday Doors, but I’ve been photographing interesting doors at every opportunity. 🙂

I spied this vintage wood stove at Daffodil Hill Farm in mid March when I went up to photograph the Daffodils in bloom. I love the rust, and decorations on it. I have no idea how old or what brand it is. It does say 1870 above the top set of doors, but that could only mean it’s when the company was founded.

The Daffodil in bloom just offset of the stove was placed perfectly for this composition I thought.
