Welcome to Thursday Doors! This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you’d like to join us, simply create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week and then share a link to your post in the comments below, anytime between 12:01 am Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time). If you like, you can add our badge to your post.
The stories for the Thursday Doors Writing Challenge have begun to roll in. Please check the reminder (below) for the link to that page.
I’ve been very busy. I have doors this week, but I don’t have much information. What I do know is in the captions, so I’ll move along quickly. I hope you enjoy the gallery, and I hope you will take some time to follow a few links to the others who have contributed doors this week. May is a busy month at Thursday Doors, so I’ll be sure to remind you of the links for each week’s doors and the stories and poetry as it arrives.
If I begin to wear out my welcome in your inbox, I promise to slow down in June.
In response to Sheree’s comment, I’m adding a paragraph from a post last year.
A Bit of Door Trivia – In one of the photos, I mention an interesting feature found on many houses in New England. The door on the front edge of the side wall is known as a “Coffin Door” or the “Death Door.” The primary purpose of this door was to allow easy access to the parlor for a coffin in a home that had a central staircase (where it would be hard to maneuver a coffin). The expression, “being at death’s door” is thought to stem from the presence of these doors in European houses.
I’m adding this reminder to all my posts this month. The Thursday Doors Writing Challenge (TDWC) is underway. Visit this page – Pick a door that inspires you – Write something, anything – Post it to your blog – Leave a link to your post in a comment on the TDWC page. If you don’t feel like writing, visit the page and see the wonderful things that have been written.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
