Keyless

A new shipment of antique doors from France arrived at Architectural Heritage last week. I enjoyed photographing the locks, key holes and door handles. This one had by far, the most character.

First Rose of Spring?

This charming bird condo at Architectural Heritage looks ready for spring.

In Full Bloom

 Architectural Heritage

We're modest, here in the South.

My New Meds???

Recently I dropped in Architectural Heritage to have a little look around. I spotted these old medicine bottles and got a chuckle when I spotted one named pour moi! I could Google polygala, but I decided my clever commenters would have more creative ideas. All I can say is, I hope whatever the remedy it provides includes poison ivy relief!

This week, I'll be having a fine time with a very fun crowd of fellow bloggers and blog readers. I won't have a lot of time for blog visits, I hope you'll understand. Oh yes, there will be photos to follow.

Looking Ahead

Je suis arrivé! A very long day yesterday but I caught all three flights as planned. Today, a photograph that reminds me of Paris. Shot at Architectural Heritage of course.

Paris ou Birmingham?

Quick, where are we today? Paris you say? Non! We are at one of my favorite places right here in Birmingham, Architectural Heritage. We've been here and here and many other times as well. Today two photos that remind me so much of Paris. Have a look around! ( I snuck in a chair as well. Haven't shown anything for the Table/Chair series lately)

Merci to Roy Morton, the owner. He is always so kind to let me roam around and take photos.

Ode to Rust

I told you it's rained and rained and rained around here , so why not throw the spotlight on RUST!!! These tables at Architectural Heritage on Birmingham's southside are beautiful examples of rust at its best. Rust and peely paint.... sometimes a good thing.

Dusty Lens, this one's for you since you're the king of rusty ummmm....stuff!

Les Trois Bouteilles

These antique seltzer bottles are from Architectural Heritage.  Another one of those things that I have had a go at photographing many, many, many times. Plastic, screw-top seltzer bottles just don't do it for me like these do!

Update!  Today is our last day in Paris.  We are heading off to the Louvre and then to the Musee Rodin!  A little snow is predicted and that would be a photographer's godsend if I ever saw one!!!   It has been a wonderful week!  Paris photos will be forthcoming and I will have to figure out the new blog thing. The long flight home will give me time to plan.  D.C. , tell my blog to get the house all cleaned up for my arrival.  Will there be champagne? I am quite used to that now you know.

I am in Paris this week.  My photos have been preposted.  In addition to the Birmingham photo each day, I am including a Paris photo from my last visit in March, 2007.  Thanks for stopping by.
