Inside Out–Porches

I was thinking about this week’s Weekly Prompt of Inside Out and thought of how we move from inside our homes to the greater outdoors. And then I thought of porches.

I’m sharing these pictures… Continue reading Photo A Week: Water

Norm’s Thursday Doors June 11

So many of the businesses are still closed in and around San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and what caught my eye was the beautiful metal entry. These doors are not often seen when the stores are open, so it was a treat to see this one yesterday afternoon on my dog walk. See more door… Continue reading Norm’s Thursday Doors June 11
