the doors - Arizona theme day

doors in the southwest are a thing of beauty. 

the rustic ones made of rich solid wood, adorned with clavos, 

and framed by Mexican tiles are some of my favorites.

I'll bet my fellow Arizona city bloggers have posted some

 great ones - check out the other photos of Arizona doors here:

and I'm in Austin, TX this week, so my postings over the

next few days will be postcards from Austin.
