Sometimes we need a frame. Infinity can overwhelm. A frame bounds–in a very good way. It defines, it helps us to focus. A frame says, all you need to see for now is here within the borders. I understand the Psalmist sense of peace when he said, “The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.” –Psalm 16:6
Claire Burge, author of the beautiful blog at www.claireburge.com, offered this challenge:
Frames fascinate me. They are versatile, flexible items that serve many uses. And unlike the traditional wooden, plastic or steel frames used in homes and offices, all created matter can be used as a potential frame. Plant life, humans, man-made structures and even the elements can serve as a photographer’s frame. For next week’s PhotoPlay post, get your camera, head out and find a subject to frame.
So here is my response–a photo of my favorite “model” and granddaughter.

Lovely… “Infinity can overwhelm.” Framing as boundary and focus rings true.

interesting. yes, frames are good in that we can’t think of everything all at once, but we can think in little spaces…
I like that.

Dave,
She has made my day today!
That sideways glance and those blue eyes… more than adorable. No wonder she is your model.
The white frame works well with the colours in the background.

Sweet picture framed. Thanks for he reminder that boundary lines are a good thing. Too often I buck against the fence posts the Lord has put there for my own good.
