Keyholes with no keys, or
perhaps there is an invisible
skeleton key. Locks locked in
loops–square, heart-shaped,
one looks like a snowman. Ah,
it appears to be an old age
junkyard for locks and keyholes
beyond repair. They have each
other for company, rusty though
they may be. Wonder what they
converse about.
I have some keys on my keychain from places now unknown. Cool to wonder what doors they might open.

I have several of those as well.

One does wonder where such a pile of old locks originated from.

Old doors!

Maybe the only thing sadder that a locked door is a lock without a door.

Never thought of it that way!

Sara, I love :the (old) locks with no key.” I may have one of those around but I do have a lot of keys with no locks. I can just see yours all sitting around. Perhaps in the park on benches.

My daughter just returned from Paris with a picture of many locks padlocked around a bridge railing on a bridge over the Seine. Couples place them, each of them keeping a key. The one she and our grandaughter was gone, missing. My comment was “It seems your lock has been picked.” I may use her picture some time.

I have heard about that tradition. Sad to have your lock picked!

I agree about the snowman! If only they could talk ofthe many hands that held them as they were locked and unlocked.

That’s a good thought.

I like the mystery of the beginning, the idea that the key that isn’t in plain sight might be just… invisible (waiting to be found, maybe).
