Lovely doorways - plural, really. The color photo is a rich invitation, but the black & white evokes a moonlit night. Both 'entrancing.' Can ya say, 'Brigadoon, lassie?'

Thank you!

The problem comes when we recall that "entrance" has two meanings.

Faeries or not, nature is a magical place.

Marley, thanks, that's sweet.

Bellis, that's hilarious! Really? A care home called Brigadoon, that's awful. Next time we're out at Hahamongna I'll show you some tree roots that I think are Faerie entrances. I can't get pictures of them, I've tried.

Hmm, J is perhaps complaining about tonight's fish.

Thank you, Ms. M., it's always nice to see you.

Have a care at doors of Færie!
Never was a traveller more at risk;
Nor ever answer faint entreaties!
Darkling meals bode within …

I'm so glad you can see doorways like that into Faerie - I've been looking in the wrong place, under tree roots.

I never knew the story of Brigadoon. We once put my elderly mother-in-law into a care home called Brigadoon and never found her again. No, just kidding, she walked out after a few days. You've got to wonder what the owners were thinking when they gave it that name.

I saw that article, Loren. There are ways for us to be involved, and I think we're going to have to be. I'll try to find out and keep you posted.

Yeah, Laurie, and I want to keep them around, so I trust them when they won't let me photograph their doors!

K, hearing that from you (that some scenes refuse to be photographed) makes me feel better.

Glad you like it, Karin. I like them both. I usually like both and can't choose.

I'm quite fond of that B&W!

I know what you mean about some scenes that just refuse to be photographed. So you're probably right that spirits are looking after their doorway to another world.

It's always surprising, too, how the same photo can feel so completely different in color as opposed to b+w.

Brigadoon indeed! This is lovely, P. I have no doubt those fairies have a lot to do with things around these parts.

Oooo, I have Brigadoon on my DVD shelf! Now I gotta go watch it...

I'm so concerned about Hahamongna. I want it to stay as open and unimproved as possible...it's just such an open-space treasure, and so nearby. The Star News has a new article detailing the effects of the Station Fire on the planning for the future in Hahamongna. I can only hope that they decide that "less is more" -- and leave all that open space to properly take care of itself with the rains and burn runoff and such.

Oh, to have a path and doorway like that to walk through every day! What would our world be like if one approached each day with that much anticipation?

Thanks for the beautiful doorway...

Thanks, everyone. And remember, Mitch, if you enter Faerie, don't eat their food or you'll be lost.

I will never see a trailhead without thinking of it as a doorway. Thank you for your/the concept! Great take on the theme.

Great take on doorways, this reminds me of when I go hiking in a new area, little openings like this are so inviting. "Come see where I will take you", they cry, "leave that beaten path and see."
thanks,
