Wow Kyles...how incredibly moving! Its sooo true. I think this is beautiful and I would love to have this on the wall in my house were i can see it everyday and remind myself that 'acceptance IS the key' to all sorts of things in life. A simply beautiful and emotive image my friend:-) Good on ya. Papa bear must be chuffed to bits:-)

@Linerberry: It's a hard thing to remind ourselves of daily isn't it, but it's the things we battle with and don't accept that cause us the most greif I have learned. Such peace comes when you just accept and let "whatever is, be ok". My motto :o), thanks for your lovely comments my friend!

Looks like a really old door knob. I haven't seen key holes like that for a long time. Nice shot.

@Steve Rice: It is indeed a very old door knob in a very old house, I love the old lock on it, however there is no key, only accpetance :o), thanks for stopping by Steve!!

An intriging somewhat suspenseful image,with a mysterious atmosphere. Very Alfred Hitchcock. I like it.

Métaphore ! il coule dans l'avenir des objets qui frappent nos yeux, ou nos oreilles, et par conséquent l'âme en est touchée...ET, tous ensemble, ils courent à la porte qui vient de s'entrouvrir.

@Siam: Un commentaire si poétique Siam, admirablement écrit, merci tellement !

a wonderful shot -- of course my interest is now piqued... where does this go to? ;)
21 Sep 2008 7:26pm
@dj.tigersprout: Hahh, someone thought it was the big lock on my bedroom door and that Papa Bear would be pleased it is keeping the boys out... it is actually the door in my kitchen, it's a beautiful old house, I think this room used to be a dining or sitting room maybe, I love this old door. Thanks for your comments DJ!
