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.
Reminder: Today is the last day to submit a badge entry for the 2025 Thursday Doors Badge. Entries this year are few, and support for keeping the current badge is strong, but the I am accepting submissions until 11:59 PM North American Eastern Time today. This may be the last contest we have. This year’s badge will be the 5th one selected, and beginning in 2026, I think I will let people choose any of the five badges (I will cycle through them).
Check the Sunday Recap for a look at the badges and instructions on how to vote.
Linda Hill’s Just-Jot-it-January prompt for today is Personality, offered by Astrid at A Multitude of Musings. Check it out if you’re looking for an interesting blog. Personality is a great word for Thursday Doors, since doors often suggest the personality of the home or building.
My doors today are from Hartford, Connecticut. I don’t live in Hartford, but I get my hair cut there, and I sometimes have breakfast with a friend of mine who does live there. Traffic lights, school buses and rush hour traffic give me plenty of opportunities to snap some photos. What I know about the doors is included in the captions. Some of the buildings have been photographed before, but during a different season.
I hope you like the doors in the gallery, and I hope you will take a moment to visit some of the other participants’ doors for this week. I will be offline for a good part of the day. I will visit all the participant sites, and I will respond to all comments, but I might be late
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.
