A-DOOR-ing

 A-DOOR-ing

Red doors abound in Santa Monica.

Welcoming us into homes,

 

Businesses…

Garages…

and…who knows what magical places.

Wooden doors abound in Venice.

And a beach town blue door speaks of sky and water.

 Let us a-door- them… all!

Walk with Me

Walk with Me

Take a bucolic Santa Monica walk with me…one of many. Enter though the archway.

Feast your eyes on the magnificent purples of the Jacaranda blooms, punctuated by white paper lanterns round as moons.

Purple butterflies and pink flamingos strut and flutter across this yard.

Buried deep in the foliage of fern and palm, this house hosts garden sculpture and pink blossoms.

Intricate painting on a front gate door is enhanced by picturesque peeling, showing the effect of wind and weather.

Further Jacaranda glories line the street.  Tis the season.

Intense purples collide in colorific harmony…

Passing though? Or living here…don’t miss the delights  of walking  Santa Monica’s leafy avenues…hidden treasures and abject pleasures await those with patience, willingness, and an attentive eye.
