Frame of Mind

This week Nancy Thanki talks about frames and asks us to take a look around and “find an alternative frame to the world around you and share what you see!”

So I couldn’t ignore that side of me where my literal side meets my love of puns side, and since I couldn’t drive down to Missouri to see the hometown of Frames and Jesse James, or travel to Europe to see where the frame in Spain mainly falls, I risked arrest by a slow-moving security SUV to take this picture.

I always love your comments so if you’ve got one, feel free!
