My husband and I have been walking around local communities. Spring and fall are the best times for long walks. This year I take my camera with me. You can see the images I captured by just stopping and looking around. One image, the horse and rider, my daughter sent me. I played with it a little to make it look more like an illustration than a photo.
You can see that I am entranced by doorways. In my area we don't have very much new home construction. The different architectural fads are evident in different communities. The doorways featured here were all found within a few blocks of each other. The community was incorporated in 1931, but the homes are mostly brick and stone so they have held up well.
These pictures, of course, are contributed to LIL, LMAC's Image Library. This gallery of images is comprised of public domain photos, which means anyone in the Hive community can use them. The LMAC community not only offers these images free to anyone, but also invites everyone on Hive to contribute to our collection. We do ask that if you borrow an image you designate the author of that image as a 2% beneficiary on your blog.
Contributing to LIL is easy. Process and rules are spelled out in this blog, by @shaka.
Before I finish this post, I'd like to point out that the LMAC collage contest is running right now. Plenty of time to join in the fun. Contest rules and procedures may be found on @shaka's blog here.
The inspiration and coding magic that make the gallery possible come from @shaka and @quantumg. Without the efforts also of team member @mballesteros, assembling and maintaining the gallery would not be such a smooth process.
I hope these images are useful to the Hive community. They were fun to make. Health and peace to all.

What a great collection, and a cool idea.
A win-win for everyone involved. It's great that you are helping to build up the library, @agmoore!
Thank you @jayna. I really appreciate that you stopped by. The gallery really has some interesting pictures. The best part is, the people who contributed them are fellow bloggers.
I hope you had a wonderful day today.
Hi @agmoore 👋
This is really another super collection that you have contributed to the LIL. Windows, doors, furniture and all sorts of interesting and unique things that I always love to find when I'm looking for materials to use in collages.
A thousand thanks. :-)
Happy Easter Sunday to you. I hope you can enjoy this wonderful old holiday of renewal and benefit from the positive energies it is brings.
Thank you, @quantumg. I wish you and your family a Happy Easter.
Taking pictures and formatting them is actually therapeutic for me. Demands attention, and focus. Takes my mind away from other thoughts.
I appreciate your visit and kind words.
Lovely pictures @agmoore
Thank you very much. I appreciate your visit and your kind words.
Happy weekend. Very nice pictures, especially those of animals, they are my favorite species
Thanks for this work
Thank you! Taking the pictures was very relaxing because I combine the activity with a pleasant walk (and good company). I'm very happy you like these.
Fantastic collection as always. I liked the entrances to traditional houses, it reminded me of the original heritage
happy evening👍
Thank you! Those houses are amazing, quite beautiful. The streets are quiet, almost no people. Oddly, few dogs in sight also.
Have a great week.
Hola, querida @agmoore. Es una magnífica lista. Estoy en cantada con la que aquí llamamos morrocoya. Recibe un gran abrazo.
Hola, querida @adncabrera,
I appreciate your visit and your kind words. My husband spotted the turtle statue. It was quite a find.
Hope you are well. Have a very happy weekend.
Those are great :) Is the stone tower really a tower???
Hello @wrestlingdesires
Thank you for the visit. I had fun taking these pictures. The towers are architectural features on some very impressive homes around the area. This community abuts the old Gold Coast of Long Island. While the homes I saw are not mansions, they are quite expensive.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks, I did, I hope you had the same ♥️
