Doors

#1
This door was on an abandoned building I found in town

#2
This is the door on the Chelsea Feed Store, interesting sign about wives.

#3
I liked the way the sun was peeking through at dusk on the doors.

#4
Loved the shrubbery growing on the roof. I drove around the block
three times before I had enough nerve to get out of the car and take the
photo of this crazy house/door/shrubbery.

#5
This is the oldest bar in Chelsea, it's on a side street and the beer is sooooo cold!

#6
St. Mary's School in downtown Chelsea closed about 15 years ago and
Jeff Daniels bought the building so it wouldn't be torn down.

#7
This old refrigerator door is the ice cream menu at
Zou Zou's Coffee House in Chelsea (I love their coffee).

#8
This is a Fairy Door in Ann Arbor, they're hidden all over town.
The door is only about 6" tall.

Hot Diggity Dog

Louie is a sweet little Yorkie who belongs to the owner of a nearby yarn shop. My shots are pretty much from the same angle as I didn't want to lay on the floor while customers were roaming around.
