It’s good to see Norm back at Thursday Doors with lots of great pictures after his well-deserved vacation. Photogenic doors have been few and far between during my daily round, this year, but I did come across this colorful door in the Idea Garden at Cantigny Park in Wheaton the other day.

That’s a great corner you found with a bright door!
Thanks! I was so thankful that I’d finally found a door worth photographing!
I know what you mean! There nice doors on the country side, but these are on large estates where you need a pass just to get a look at the front.
I love that and the window box, but even though I live not far from Wheaton, in Naperville, I’ve never been to Cantigny. Were you visiting or do you live around here?

Thanks! I love going to Cantigny. I wish we lived a bit nearer, it’s about an hour’s drive from us. They are doing a lot of upgrades there at the moment but it was still an enjoyable day out. I’ll be doing a post on it shortly. I just did one on Naperville at https://skfjrifnd.wordpress.com/2017/09/14/suburban-travels-naperville/
Lovely shade of blue for the door! Love the window box stuffed with flowers.
Donna
Thanks for stopping by, Donna! Even in a garden filled with so many colors, the blue door was really eye-catching.
Nice color contrasts.

Thank you, Danny!
