Tired of Parisian Doors? I’m not. 😉
Passage Door that is almost painfully beautiful
Beautiful artwork
Very inviting isn’t it?
Knock knock
Never tire of knockers

I hope you enjoy a nice mix of interesting doors from Paris. Doors that go nowhere, covered passage doors, old doors, and door knockers. Enjoy.
How cool is this door? It was actually part of a building at once time which has long since been torn down. The French people chose to keep the door. It is just standing there all by itself. I LOVE that.
Surely door knockers can be considered?
Oldest building in Paris.

There are so many parts of traveling I enjoy. Architecture is one of them. And Doors make a big impact on architecture. France makes a solid effort at keeping their doors real for sure.
I mean seriously? Look at this door. It’s perfect in color, shape, ivy, knob, button…I need to know who lives here. 😉
Not your typical french style door.
Makes you wanna know what’s behind it doesn’t it?
I think a gate can count as a door when there are flowers this pretty behind it.
I don’t even remember where I saw this door but I love everything about it.
Doors on cemeteries count too, right? Pere Lachaise Cemetary.
Thanks to Norm 2.0 for inspiring me to share my doors!
The Daily Post is featuring Doors today too! Check them out!
It’s Thursday! I have been looking forward to this all week.
Below are a few of my favorite doors from my recent trip to Paris. There are too many to share in one post so I will likely provide more in coming weeks. I hope you enjoy. And as always, I come home from a trip like this wanting to replace the door on my own house…
Door inside the Notre Dame
Door outside the Notre Dame. This door has actually made an appearance on my blog once before. But, look at it! It is magnificent.
Door outside the Notre Dame. It’s spectacular.

Cee has also had a great door challenge recently that is well worth visiting!
Surprise! I went to Paris. I am back and have finally finished going through all of my photos. I hope to post some interesting finds over the coming weeks. I do hope you will enjoy my journey!
Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge gave me inspiration to share my first Paris photo. That of a very unusual building called the Centre Pompidou in the 4th Arrondissement near Les Halles. (Hadn’t really figured out how to start so thanks Cee!) I am not sure this building is to my taste but I give the architects bonus points for having the moxie to build something like this in Paris! The building houses a public library, center for music, and a Modern Art Museum. (Appropriate.)

France is truly one of the most beautiful countries I have ever visited. For other posts from previous trips to Paris and France please visit my page here!
I’ve lived my whole life in this area and always heard of Mark Twain’s famous Jumping Frog Jubilee. I finally put it on the calendar and made a point of going. I needed to see those silly frogs jump at the famous Calaveras Jumping Frog Jubilee in Angel’s Camp, California!
It turns out it was great fun to watch the kids “jockey” the frogs. Some were creeped out and others fearlessly kissed their frog and sent it on its way. Some jumped and bounced making me fear for the frogs life. (Thankfully none were squashed/harmed while I was watching.)
The adults weren’t as much fun to watch as the kids but the length the frogs were jumping was far more impressive. (Upwards towards 18 feet was the maximum I witnessed.) The 30 year old record was made by Rosie the Ribiter at 21 feet 5 3/4 inches! Other clever frog names include: Froggy Balboa, Joe Frogtana, and Hillary Croakin.
Small town festivals are a lot of fun. I challenge you to tell me about a small town festival with a more interesting theme that jumping frog challenges! 🙂

A Jubilee must qualify as “Jubilant” for the Daily Post, right?
We went for a little drive last weekend to check out a nearby area we hadn’t explored before. Between Foresthill, California and Colfax, California is a small un-maintained Placer County Road called Yankee Jims Road. (Turns out Yankee Jim was a hellraiser, bandit, gold minor, horse thief, and all around bandit. Why not name a town and road after him?)
Expecting to just see a road I had never driven on before I was pleasantly surprised with multiple flowing waterfalls, a pretty fun 4×4 trail, and a ton of lovely wildflowers.
I continue to be surprised by things in my own Northern California backyard.
When was the last time you explored a road you had never driven on just because?
Foresthill Vista
NEWSFLASH: Water is still flowing in California!
This little beauty is literally just off of the side of the road
This is a shot from my backyard. Just kidding. I wish it was my back yard.
California Poppies and Lupines showing off
Cee has challenged us to post photos from a dirt road! Check out more here!
Cee’s Compose Yourself Challenge – Complimentary Colors & Jennifer’s Color Your World Forest Green Challenge inspired me to share these Mossy Macros I took on my recent Gold Country Drive. I hope you enjoy them. Mother Nature is truly the best at choosing which colors look right together.

The California Gold Country boasts lots of beautiful shop-filled main streets in various states of revitalization or disrepair. But, one thing is for sure…no one wants to throw out a great old door or window with some personality. Join me and get a feel for what its like to walk by the Gold Country main streets of the 1850s. Do you have anything like this where you live?
