DISTRACTIONS behind the gates.

(midnight. – promoted by ek hornbeck)

First, I hope doors, passageways, paths & portals open for you in the new year ahead.

This does not mean we should shut them behind us, nor simply look forward.

I`ll ‘open’ with a door that should be reopened to clean up the detritus of the past.

STATE OF THE UNION

My friend painted his garage door right after 911

It was a perfect banner of solidarity, now it`s in tatters as you can see. He really needs to
get it fixed or replaced by a firm similar to Garage Door Repair Charlotte NC, but he doesn’t want to lose his giant national flag.

  1. I post these for you to wonder about what`s behind the gates & passageways you will come upon in the coming year.

    May they open to good health for you all.

    Thank you for a great year here on DD.

    As always, I try & respond to all comments/ questions, related to the images or not.

  2. May it be a year of happiness and health for you and your family. Was Teri able to enjoy the holidays, and how is she doing?

    Lovely diary. The old courtyard gate is intriguing. And the oceanside gateway is magnificent. How did you get the inspiration for that?

    Scritches to Coconut!

  3. Love all the gates, especially yours, & Old Courtyard Gate reminded me, just very faintly, of some old gates I saw once on a trip to France.

    Best wishes for the coming year.
