This week I’m stepping in for Norm as the host of our regular Thursday Doors challenge. Door lovers of the world, welcome!
Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post each week and then sharing it, between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time), by using the blue link-up button below.
First, thank you, Liz, for the following gif. I see that you know how it feels to be a door lover. 😀
While Norm is away, the cats will play! I’m honoured to be chosen as a substitute host together with Joey, who hosted two weeks ago when Slovenia won its first Eurobasket game and I celebrated it, and Joey, with flowery doors; and Dan, who hosted last week after Slovenia won all its five games and I went all-green with my doors too. Guess what: Slovenia is still undefeated and is playing the semi-finals tonight against the (also undefeated) reigning champ Spain!
In the meantime, here is my invitation to join our door party. I know you’ve got a door photo, or 20, to show. And don’t forget: this time you add the link to your door post by clicking on my blue frog right here.
Want to join in on the fun and share your own Thursday Doors post with other door lovers? Click on the blue button below to add the link to your Thursday Doors post to our link-up list.
Don’t forget that if you share your blog posts on Twitter and Instagram, use the #ThursdayDoors hashtag to help others find you, and please do take a few minutes to visit some of the Thursday Door posts shared by others.
And now, since I’m not big on selfies, reflective surfaces such as doors are a good way to catch a glimpse of me, another person or dog, or just the town or a sunset. I know that one regular Thursday Door blogger invented the word for it but I don’t remember who it was. Here are my twenty doorfies then.
Next week I’m pretty certain we meet back at Norm’s, and 3 out of 4 possible outcomes involve a medal.

Thanks for hosting today. I love the GIF, and since I also love doors and reflections, your doors today are making me smile. I particularly like the old worn wooden door that is open. That might be the best photo of an open door I’ve seen. Good job Manja!

You are an excellent guest host, and as usual you offer an interesting selection of doors with the added bonus of the *selfies*. I love that expression *doorfie* 😀
My favourites are the reflection in the car window (wow!) and the door near the beginning with the backward *S* stylized in the door window. Normally backward letters offend my OCD, but it really works here. I love it.

Ahh, thank you, Joanne, you’re very kind. True, that S is backward but it doesn’t matter. 🙂

Hi Manja, sorry I haven’t been keeping up with everyone’s posts for awhile; vacations and then post processing photos and then going on other shooting adventures have a way of usurping time. Congrats for being Norm III for the TD posts and you did an outstanding job! I loved your perspectives (selfies) on the doors and couldn’t select a favorite because they were all great! I’ll have to check out your past archives when time permits to see what I missed. 🙂

Great idea for a theme and I never heard of doorfie and love the new term!
The post of doors here had such interesting Dorfies and reflections – but also tasty swirls and stones and misc details.
And I know we never have to pick a favorite door – and sometimes cannot – but I do have one here.
The white doors with heart and sunset word (if u say so) and reflection – went back to it thrice –
Wishing u a happy Thursday and wishing your team luck 😉
