Frame within a Frame

Posted on 2019-08-26 by Olga

When you really think about it, it’s all in how you frame your life.

Memories blur

Framing special moments

With a forever image

Bridge framing the sunset moment before the boat docking.

Rustic framing of vegetation draws the eye into the inner depths.

Sculptured family framed by nature.

Casual capture of my daughter busy in her kitchen, reflected in the frame of a mirror. Miss you!

Wall display in a fancy restaurant after the boat tour in Ottawa. (Reminds me of the song, “Ninety-nine bottle of beer on the wall.” ) 🙂

“Frame your mind to mirth and merriment which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.” (William Shakespeare)

    A beautiful selection, Olga. The first image is amazing, I see double frames (two different bridges) in the photo. The reflection of your daughter on the mirror is lovely. Ninety-nine bottle of beer on the wall.”, so cool. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

      Thank-you, Amy. Yes, the double bridges draw the eye in. I was surprised to have captured a person on top of the first bridge watching the boat dock. Things one notices after the fact. 🙂

    These photos are gorgeous! The reflections and their images especially. I hadn’t thought of the 99 bottles song since summer camp when I was a kid. 🙂

      Thank-you, Patti. Love the description, “hauntingly beautiful.” It’s amazing how dramatic, natural light can make an image striking. 🙂

    Hi Olga – you’ve chosen beautiful forever moment photo examples. I adore the composition of your leading lines in all of them. Well done! PS – I know that missing my daughter feelings, and I have a photo of one of mine in a mirror reflection too, a forever moment for sure :-)!

    Lovely selection of the forever moments, Olga. The first one capture the perfect moment of the bridge, sunset, and reflection. I like the contrast of the light and shadow. What a lovely moment you preserved of your daughter in the refection of mirror. Good that you see her at least once a year. I’m fortunate that my daughter lives 1,000 miles away with two-hour flight. I go to see my granddaughter every six weeks. Next month is her two-year birthday. 🙂

    Beautiful all of them – the first one with the bridge is a gem – and I recognize not knowing all things in the photo until I see it on the computer! Love the shot of your daughter in her kitchen as well – my daughter left for her uni and will not be home until Christmas. So much feeling in a “missing” frame.
