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.

Important Notice: I will be taking a break from my blog from August 3rd until August 12th. Accordingly, There will be no Thursday Doors on August 8th and no Recap on August 11th. In addition, while Thursday Doors will run as normal next week, (August 1st) there may not be a complete recap on August 4th.
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s go back to Reiman Gardens. If you were hear last week, you know these public gardens are located in Ames, Iowa. My brother took me there while I was visiting him in June. Most of the photos in today’s gallery are birdhouses. I don’t have much more to say, other than I find these little houses adorable.
I hope you’re having a great week. I appreciate the comments by those of you who read my short story yesterday. Since that was a long read, I’ll end this post here. The captions should serve.
I do hope you’ll take a few minutes to check out some of the other participant’s doors.














Pittsburgh reporter Rachael Todd has a hard deadline — and it’s personal. Her friend is a murder suspect. He knew the victim. He has a strong motive and a weak alibi. Rachael’s certain he is being framed, and she’ll have to live up to her nickname “Rascal” to clear him. Rascal sees a connection to an earlier crime. The clock is ticking as she digs through multiple layers of legal and bureaucratic misdeeds, crimes, and evidence that the police ignored.
Is a crime solved when the criminals are identified, or only after they are brought to justice? This is a mystery born from that question. The story includes many twists and turns, even after the crime is solved. It features characters, including the bad guys, that grow in ways that might surprise you, and well-researched circumstances that will take you from delight to frustration while moving you close to the edge of your seat—sound interesting? If it does, this book is for you.
