Theme Day: Entry

Today, February 1, 2014 is Theme Day across the CityDailyPhoto (citydailyphotoblog) community.
This month theme is "Entry", and I attempted to capture it by leaning over on a slippery wharf and peering in this lobster boat door. I would hope that all endeavors that we attempt have challenges built in that supply us with the hidden will to push on and eventually reach our goals. After all, where we end in life, is usually is a place far removed from where we entered. It's filled with many twists and turns, joys and heartbreaks. Coming through it all intact and a far better person is really what it's all about in my book. For me, it'll be important to be able to turn around at the conclusion and say, "Now, that was a ride!"
I plan to do that soon.
I'll remember this too---
It's not the 'entry' that counts.
It's the culmination and the faces you've encountered along the way..
 "All's well that ends well."

  6. I'm glad to know you didn't fall off the wharf and do an entry into the water. That would have made an interesting picture, too, though. Try it again with Elenka holding the camera. OK?

  7. Being born in a fishermen family, i like this picture very much! It tells me a lot, and speaking about "entry", reminds me that sea was always a dangerous door for those who work on it..

  8. This shot seems somehow perfect for your corner of the country but, I'm glad you didn't slip when you were straining for the shot.

  9. No lobster or lobster boats within 1,500 miles of here, but I could use that rubber hammer to remove ice from my snow blower fan housing. Was there a bar and grill near that boat?

  14. A creative approach to the "entry" theme, and one very suitable for Portland, Maine.

    Philosophical today, aren't we?

  15. I couldn't agree more. Our entries are just the first square on the game board. I've had some chutes and ladders, but more of the up direction. Excelsior.

  16. You are right. It's not the entry that's always important but making a beautiful and exciting exit. Oh to be remembered. MB
