Grand Entrance

I don't know which I like most: the big red door, or the little black awning.

Dixie Jane said...: So nice to see wreaths and flowers in late February. Everything here is dead and brown. Upon enlargement I see that the wreath has fruit. Thanks, Laurie for the cheer.; February 18, 2010 at 4:49 AM
Gunn said...: Wow, this is soooooo beautiful, and has very nice details.; February 18, 2010 at 5:59 AM
Yakpate said...: I agree with Dixie... that lacy black wrought iron really makes the look.

In fact, everything about this entrance is perfection, including the two potted trees. LA: Is this a residence?; February 18, 2010 at 6:56 AM

Cafe Observer said...: It looks like it was a very bright & sunny day.
I'll rate this one 2 cups of coffee.; February 18, 2010 at 7:51 AM

Kat said...: It looks somehow like a pretty little candy box. I wonder who lives inside...; February 18, 2010 at 8:43 AM
Laurie Allee said...: Db, it's not a Christmas wreath but a decorative spring wreath. (My mom makes wreaths. We always had them for every season!)

It's a residence, up near the Green and Green houses on the North side of town. I am always so charmed by that lacy awning.; February 18, 2010 at 9:18 AM
dbdubya said...: I know, Laurie. But to me, any wreath on a front door is a Christmas wreath.; February 18, 2010 at 9:23 AM
TheChieftess said...: Very sweet!!! Can't say that I've ever noticed this one...; February 18, 2010 at 1:41 PM
Mister Earl said...: If I were color blind, I might sing this!; February 18, 2010 at 5:12 PM
Wayne said...: I was wondering about that wreath too db. I like the newspaper that didn't quite make it to the porch.; February 18, 2010 at 8:08 PM
Laurie Allee said...: Thanks, y'all!

I often take photographs of the little details of homes in South Pas. There are wonderful hints about the people who live there. I remember the little zen studio and, of course, this hammock and this swing. The great thing about this blog is that it has forced me to really look at my community in a way I probably have never done before.

Until tomorrow, everyone...; February 18, 2010 at 11:50 PM
