For this week’s Thursday Doors I’m sharing some shots I took from the car on a couple of road trips recently. The first one even has a silhouette of me taking the photo as we drove by a neat little cottage.
I just managed to capture this as we sped by (within the speed limit, of course). Although it’s a bit blurred, I couldn’t bring myself to delete it. Red car, red roof and red door.
You can see from the stone wall that Mr. R. didn’t slow down for this one either.
This last one is of my maternal grandparents first home, which they rented for a while just after they were married almost a hundred years ago.
Thanks for stopping by. This Thursday Doors post is part of a weekly series hosted by Norman Frampton and if you check out his blog you’ll find lots more doors from around the globe.
It’s so pretty there! I love your Grandparent’s first home!

During high tides in stormy weather, the waves have been known to crash over the roof of that house. They only stayed there until they bought their own place.

Thanks Dan. It’s challenging but fun, if you don’t mind deleting 95% of your photos, lol.

I like that house on the shore, but wouldn’t like the waves crashing over. I can see why they moved. Good job with the doors while in motion photos. I like that first one with you and the car in it as well. 🙂

Beautiful sea view from that house but I wouldn’t fancy living in it myself.

A very interesting tree line! Yeah, hubbies who are not photographers don’t like to be held up:):) Like the tower too. It gives one a sense of identity, knowing specifics of the previous generations!

Hubby actually took more photos than me on a recent hunt for Thursday Doors, Jesh. It might be contagious.

I just read waves crashing?! Now that must’ve been nerve wracking! But lucky you it’s still standing to see.

They moved to a permanent home eventually, which is still in the family.

I noticed they moved pretty quickly. Wouldn’t have blamed them a bit.
