love the doors!!! (not to brag), but i told tess how new orleans made so much more sense to me now that i have seen paris. the influence is so strong there. i, too, was drawn to photograph doors…tess was drawn more so to balconies which i hope she will share soon!
Thanks for all of the very gracious words, these doors have been very meaningful to me as well!
thank you so much for these beautiful doors that invite Spirit.
Blessings!
These are beautiful as is the great old lady of NOLA.
Beautiful, stunning, mixed messages… thank you!
Such depth of contrast. Beautiful, thank you.
Christine. these are lovely. I a going to meditate on them awhile because I keep coming back to them. They seem to be tapping Spirit.
Thank you, once again, for such a special start to my day.
