The 2025 badge contest ended in a tie. I was alternating the badge but I kept losing track. You’re free to use the combined badge or either Teagan’s or Ritva’s individual badge.
Last week I shared doors from the train I took into Hartford and Union Station. I was on my way to pick up my car that had been repaired. Once in Hartford, I walked across the Connecticut River into East Hartford. Along the way, I snagged photos of a few doors, and as the title suggests, some street art. We don’t have much in the way of street art — nothing like what people in other parts of the world have shared — but I like these examples. PS, according to the artist: “The Fireflies mural depicts 10-year-old Sam Gonzalez, who lives in East Hartford, releasing fireflies from a glass jar. The artist, Michael Rice, wanted the mural to send the message that you should experience the world with childlike wonder.”
I hope you enjoy the photos in the gallery. The feature photo was taken as I was walking across the Bulkeley Bridge (the longest stone arch bridge in the Interstate highway system) on my way to East Hartford where the dealership is.
Please take a few minutes to visit the doors from the other participants. You know, it’s not just doors waiting for you. There’s poetry, artwork and short stories, too.

If any of those look interesting, you can find them all here. PS, they are all also available in audiobook format. I used KDP’s Virtual Voice, but I edited each book in its entirety, and I really like the way they turned out. And, as far as audiobooks go, they are a bargain.
