I know, last week I said that today we end this door series but it was a lie. There will be ten parts. Today we stroll in the sun.

This was one beautiful October day in a beautiful town in Lazio called Farnese less than an hour from me, and yet I was there for the first time.
You were able to follow Flavia (here is her post on Farnese cats from this day) and me around town on eight Thursdays. The last part of our visit was spent in the sun by ourselves among doors – for me – and windows – for her – and it was most excellent. See it for yourselves.
In the meantime, on Monday Tuscany was declared the only low-risk zone in Italy. I read about it by chance in an obscure article in English. When amore confirmed the news and I got visibly overjoyed, he asked, again: “But where do you wish to go?” As if everything I could ever wish were right here. I started to enumerate: Val d’Orcia, Punta Ala, Santa Fiora…
But I suppose he is right, we all need to start thinking his way.
For now I went to the lagoon with flamingos in the distance and the big supermarket. A pretty duck got so loud when it saw bestia that I turned around and let it be in peace. After I clicked a few times. Coming up one of these days.
But now, Farnese in the sun with blue sky, scenic clouds and pastel houses. And doors – they are always here somewhere, passing us by.
This part of town was left for the next time. 
Ah, what a beauty you are! 
And the mate too! 
I love this colour scheme. 
I bet she is taking photos of those small windows. 
Whereas I am drawn to doorlike things. 
The street we are about to take. 
First, a couple of phantasms. 
This needed a closer look. 
This door couple likes to stick together. 
These two are separated. 
Let’s not forget first floor doors. 
The way we came. Flavia is still there. 
Many styles, colours, shapes, half in shade, half out. 
This one stood out. 
But there are so many. 
And each is different. We only need to reach the top of this street and it’s over. Next time.

It’s funny to see the significant differences between those side-by-side doors at 3 & 4.
I really like the shutters in their various states of open.
The first balcony might be the best in the bunch.

Thank you, Dan. You mean the long first balcony after the arch? This road is where I drove into town. I felt immediately fondly greeted by all these doors.

It’s the smallish one with all the plants. I looked back for a better description, but there are so many and I can’t tell what color the walls are. In any case, beautiful.

I love all their color schemes. And that shade, as if the sun’s flirting with the houses. Just beautiful.

Your horseshoe ornaments are beautiful; we’re they door knockers or handles? Thanks for the door tour; it brings back memories of the places we visited in Italy and maybe someday will revisit.

Thanks, Gordon. They are knockers, I believe. I have another special pair of them coming up next week.

All those pinks and oranges look so warm in the bleak gray of our cold winters 🙂
The equestrian details are so stately, really suits the doors!
