After a week of grey days and amber nights, I've gone in search of color. Bright color. Color not muted by smoke or covered in ash. I've written about the therapeutic effects of color before, and when I saw the ridiculously wonderful blue doors of this gate I knew I'd stumbled upon the right prescription for wildfire burnout.There now. Don't you feel better?

I was thinking a lot about the color blue today, myself. So I think I will post blue skies next on my blog!
I understand what you're feeling after those past terrible days. As a blue lover let say that it's *perfect*. Enjoy in your "coloured day"
Nice blog. I a also ardent player of WOW GOLD. I love this game. Nice posting about wow gold. Thanks!

Great doors. Feels like an oasis.
Wow, and Fabrizio specializes in blue. Is this on Grand? I've always wanted to paint my doors some vibrant color; maybe this will motivate me.
Agree: Colortheraphy!
I think this is going to be the future color of my front door.
I would call that outrageously blue! I love it. I suddenly feel ready for anything.
Song sung blue! Blue is the color of my true love's hair... Blue is the color of my love's true hair!
Makes me yearn to know... what is behind those magnificent blue doors?
This color renders meaningless the phrase, "feeling blue." Anyone who feels like THIS color is having a fantastic day... once he or she gets used to the vibration!
This is a gorgeous shot! I love it! This is what I would like for my garden, a grand entry!
Very nice. Very sharp!
A gorgeous remedy indeed! Love the two colors of bougainvillea on either side. The minute I saw the thumbnail I thought, "Laurie's been out walking the neighborhood again." Thanks for this gate.

Ooh, I do feel better, yes indeed.
That's a fabulous blue!
Still praying for all of you…
It's so nice and bright, it definitely makes me feel better. :]
Hi people,
Good! I knew this would be a nice way to cheer us up!
Thanks for the lovely comments, everyone. Until tomorrow.
I see these doors whenever I come home from Alhambra, or when I take my dog for a walk with my mom. I fall in love with this house everytime I see it. :) Did you know it is the winner of some kind of drought-resistant garden award? I forget which award, specifically, but I'm not surprised that it won anything. It has an absoultely stunning exterior. I can only imagine what the interior looks like.
I almost missed this post! I've been behind on my blog reading and I almost missed it. So glad I didn't. This door is beautiful!
Fabulous picture Laurie!!! The shock of blue really stirs things up!!!
