Boyce Thompson Arboretum is a place that many people recommended when we first moved here and we finally visited with my brother and sister-in-law earlier this year, getting there very early to avoid the heat or at least the worst of it. It turned out to be half price day, making it even better. Although it was recommended as a place to find birds, we didn’t see many but had a great time anyway. Thankfully the wildfire that threatened it later in the year stopped just at the top of the ridge. It would have been a terrible loss.
It seemed an unlikely place to look for doors, but I found some anyway. 🙂
All I can find out about the house is that it was built in 1915 and was home to a family of 5 who sold produce to local miners. But if you’d like to take a walk to the house while seeing what a tiny slice of the arboretum is like, click here.
This, that and the other thing 
Lovely examples
Glad you enjoyed them, Sheree.
Love the 3 white doors.
They look quite nice together, don’t they?
Definitely. 👍🏼
You found some lovely doors, Janet. My favorite I’d the Dutch door at the bottom
I’m sure it’s not original to that old house but it does look good.
You always manage to find the best doors, no matter where you look. 🙂
Thanks for the continual encouragement, Hannah. There aren’t too many interesting doors in our neighborhood so I have to go a bit father afield. 🙂
Love those dutch doors!
Thanks, JT.
The last door would be my choice:) It’s pretty. Did part of the virtual Arboretum walk – thanks for including that – it was fun:)
It’s just a walk to the house but it gives the flavor of the arboretum. It’s quite nice!
I’m pretty sure we visited the arboretum when my parents were living in Sun City. I may even have a picture of my children and their cousin sitting on the wall by those arched doors. Of course my photos are all in storage so I can’t look for them. I do remember it was an enjoyable day for all. (K)
It’s a lovely place and I’m looking forward to going again when it cools off. 🙂

Wow – 1915?
You can really feel the age
It’s quite a nice little place, with the emphasis on little, but lovely stone. Not the original door obviously. 🙂
Yes / not the original for sure 😉
Late returning visits this week again. Enjoyed the virtual walk. Our temps finally have cooled enough to enjoy an evening walk.
It’s finally cooling down here as well, for which I’m very thankful. Over the next week, highs should be in the 90’s and lows into the 60’s. Delightful!
