'Framed' On Black

The frame...

Does it contain us or limit us?

Is it a shelter or a prison?

Is it a place of calm or restlessness?

Is it a space of loneliness or encounter?

Of opportunities or frustrations?

Maybe sometimes it can be more than one thing at a time...

De hortensiafamilie (Hydrangeaceae) is een familie van tweezaadlobbige planten, meest kruidachtige planten en heesters. De familie komt voor in warmere gematigde streken en enkele soorten ervan ook in de tropen. In Nederland komen twee geslachten voor die als sierstruik in cultuur zijn en soms verwilderd gedijen: boerenjasmijn (Philadelphus) en Deutzia. Veel gekweekt wordt ook de Hortensia (Hydrangea).

In 1937 Geoffrey Mander MP did something remarkable - he persuaded the National Trust to accept a house that was just 50 years old.

The local paint manufacturer and Liberal MP had been left the timber-framed house by his father Theodore. Taking inspiration from a lecture on 'the House Beautiful' by Oscar Wilde, Theodore and his wife Flora had decorated its interiors with the designs of William Morris and his Arts and Crafts contemporaries.

This house of the Aesthetic Movement was, by 1937, a relic of an out of fashion era. Yet, so complete was the design that it was worthy of preservation. Having given the house to the Trust, Geoffrey and his second wife Rosalie became its live-in curators, opening the house to the public and adding to its contents. In particular they added a remarkable collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings by Rossetti, Burne-Jones and their followers.

The next theme for the Old San Juan group will be "Framed" - one of our group members suggested it as a possible theme and I like it.

This picture was taken looking out a turret at the San Cristobal fortress.

I am going away next weekend so this will actually be the theme for the next two weeks.

I don't always get good blue jays, but that day I got a few good blue jays and this is one of them! North Park was good to me!

No Looney Tunes were harmed during the framing of this picture.
