When you travel, do you have a specific item you take pictures of? For me? It’s doors.
I love doors. Especially doors in Europe. They seem to have so much more character that the “routine” American entry way.
Here are some pictures from a recent trip Joe and I took. And the last pic holds a teeny weeny clue as to what part of the world we were in.
See if you can guess!




Maybe I love doors because they always lead to something. Same for path pictures. I love exploring possibilities. I think that’s why brainstorming a book is always so enjoyable. The possibilities are endless!




The gospel of John tells us that Jesus said, “The one who enters by the gate is the true shepherd of the sheep”—and that Jesus himself is the gate for the sheep. I thought of that as I took this next pic . . .

“Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”
Jesus (John 10:9-10)


I’ve been threatening to make a collage of door pictures that I’ve captured through the years. Maybe I’ll do that in coming months. But what form should it take, do you think? Little framed pics maybe? Or a larger frame with a cut mat? If you’re one of those creative, artsy people, please share your ideas!
Finally, here’s a clue as to what part of the world we’ve been in for the past ten days. Anyone recognize this place?

We had a marvelous trip and so as to not totally inundate you with pics, I’ll share more about our trip—with more pics—next time!
So tell me… Is there something specific you love taking pictures of? Perhaps especially when you travel?
Much love from my corner of Nashville,
