The doorway by maggiemae

The doorway

Out in a little country town for a meeting. This neat little house is just visible through the high hedge. Turning right from this gateway, I photographed the next scene across to mountains.

Three good things:
1. Going to be a race marshal for the Targa Rally in a couple of days
2. Got some herbs planted - what do I do with chamomile?
3. Going to make a bacon and egg pie.
Nice composition and colour contrast!

That is an incredible colour I have never Sen quite such a red one but I love it.the gate to match too...yo would have to be quite a maverick to paint your house this colour!
I have no idea what you do with camomile sorry...drink it! Bacon & egg pie...good hot or cold. Good luck with being a marshal, don't think you will be able to have camera in hand!

@happypat I will be amongst other marshals and will be able to photograph, Pat - its held on country roads around here. Lots of panning practice - 200 cars doing 200km!

Such a great shot. Love that you also captured some of the clouds above and love the color of this house. Congrats on the race marshall. Sounds like a great opportunity for some great photos. Chamomile may make some realizing tea. I buy tea bags of it. I have not heard of a bacon and egg pie before. Sounds delicious. FAV

Great vibrant red. The circle in the gate picks up the one in the door. Lots of character in this shot, lovely composition.

@darsphotos I just looked and you can make nice smoothies out of chamomile tea which I shall do. You freeze the tea in ice cubes!
October 27th, 2014  
@maggiemae I did not know you can make smoothies. I will have to check that out. Great tip, thank you. I recently bought some ice cube trays. What else do you put in the smoothies? I have fresh frozen strawberries, bananas and grapes.

@darsphotos My favourite recipes are made with fresh fruit - the skin cut off in some cases, like pineapple but not apple, a few brazil nuts, milk and yoghurt. Today I added parsley and it was very nice!

October 27th, 2014

@chard No, I would imagine not, Richard - they would take a lot of watering!

This is the kind of fanciful décor I would love to have on my own house- pretty gate, unique color, horseshoe over the door- so quirky!! Great shot!

Nice shot. What a nice little building. I like the color of the house and the gate. It even has a matching chair! It makes me think of the movie "The Holiday" with Kate Winslet and Cameron DIaz.

@prttblues I think I remember that movie but that was in England! This is l'ill' 'ol' NZ
