Vey's Front Door


Jerry's friend, Vey, is an old-timer around these parts. His family helped to settle this area many, many years ago. We both love visiting with him and hearing his stories. There's just about nuthin' Vey hasn't seen or done in his life! One of the things he has accomplished is to build his own adobe home. This is his front door. He took an old wooden door and covered it with cut in half yucca stalks. Pretty cool, huh?!? :)
Sharing with Photo Art Friday where the optional theme this week is entrances and/or exits.

    It's amazing where we find art - and artists! Great shot. If I had yucca plants, I might even copy it!

    What a magnificent entrance......so much character. I just love your blog header. One knows so much even before scrolling, just from the header.

    I am sure he only covered the door for insulation value. It looks very nice however.

    Great idea. Somehow (not sure why) this reminds me of a house in the hundred acre woods. Poohs house maybe?

    Great door, It took a lot of talent to create that door.

    I did something similar to that on top of a small wood door. I used hot glue and flat bamboo strips. Came out cool!
