Thursday Doors on the way back from Delaware

I don’t remember which state this adorable little church was in, but it was on the drive to or from Delaware. I believe it is in New Jersey. It is the First Baptist Church of Hopewell.

I love that we can see all the way through the church from this angle. The symmetry of this little church was delightful to me. The cemetery was also picturesque.

On the way home from Delaware we went along the river road on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River we stopped at the Stover Mill Gallery. My favorite landscape was framed by a door.

You would really need to watch your step from this one! We first encountered this lovely drive last summer when we went to Tinicum Arts Festival to meet Claudia McGill. The festival is going on next weekend and I hope to see Claudia once again (weather and health permitting).

Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Sorry I’m late and thanks Norm!

Diva Challenge 321: Draw with your Left Hand

I used to try to be ambidextrous, but I haven’t worked on it lately. I’m pretty rusty, but after a bit my strait lines got better. I drew the initial circle with my right hand (actually traced around a container). Curved lines are more challenging and the smaller circles turned out a little wonky. The Diva gave us a great challenge.

For more results from the challenge check out the Diva’s blog.

These were all in the tropical part of the conservatory. I don’t know what they are called, but the yellow with the white feathery things and the red  with the yellow feathers look related. I think the other 2 kind of look related except for the purple and white things on the red and white trumpetish flowers.

Just another day of pictures from the New York Botanical garden. For more familiar flowers check out Cee’s blog.

There are too many beauties to just post one a day so here is a selection of pink roses from the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden. I love the variation in color and structure of the roses. The fragrance differed from rose to rose and the overall fragrance was so lovely.

Here is the view upon entering the garden.

For more flower photos check out Cee’s Flower of the Day post.

I hope you have a beautiful day.
