Here’s another batch of doors from Sara’s trip to Yew Dell Botanical Gardens in Crestwood, Kentucky.

This door isn’t much of a beauty, but it has the sky in it.

It looks like their’s fuzz around it, but that’s just uneven plaster catching the light. Coo!

More next week of a different kind, also from Yew Dell.

Thursday doors is under the direction of Dan Antion, photographer extraordinaire and critter daddy. Visit his site, enjoy his wonderful photographs, follow his directions, and enter a world of doors.

I like the fuzzy-looking plaster, and I hope they leave it that way. This looks like a lovely place.

  I plan to visit it, myself, someday, although Sara already scooped the doors. 😀

These are great buildings and doors. I’ve never seen a house with multiple mini turrets. That’s amazing. I also love the eyebrow dormer in the last photo.

  I mean, why have one turret when you can have more than one, right?

  I’d like to go there sometime. It’s just the kind of day trip I like.
