Of course it's a door! Great find and capture. The backlighting on the flowers is great, and love the starburst sun, too. #1487417

Glad you stopped, Bob, and that you weren't rear ended when you hit the brakes. Beautiful sun flare and slanting morning light on this natural door and welcoming flowers. #10330503
