This made me smile! So true. It's hard to really see the painting when there's something awry with the frame. I like the 'dot point' sentence style for 'indoors thinking'. J :)

It's a bit like Mona Lisa. You know it's laughing at you, or is it.

well said, Paul. Like the Mona Lise. Is she laughing? Is she smiling. Who knows. Don't you just love intrigue?

Seems as though those buildings will fall off the page. LOL.. Pictures on a wall that get out of line are annoying and need some kind of permanent remedy like a lot of other wrong things about life. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

I appreciate your visit and insightful comments, Sara K. You're so right in your comparison of the mishung pictures to life--things that need a permanent remedy. Well said. Enjoy your day, Sara B

If a frame is always skew although the painting is beautiful, somehow the essence of the picture is lost, i so agree with you, cleverly written Sara my friend. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer.

Dear sara is that a picture of inside your home? I love that painting! How stunning! I have this issue too, and your title and the picture youv used here goes so well together, as well as the way your kimo fits the theme is brilliant! Pleasure always reading your work. Kimos are also your thing, you do them so well. Sending you light always

Hi Ink--no not a picture in our house. The pictures in my office, however, are mis hung, imperfectly hanging on the wall-a reminder of my imperfection and inability to hang a picture straight. Ha! The beauty remains, despite the imperfection...that's the way I see people and life in general. Thanks for visiting and for your kind words about my Kimos. I do enjoy writing them. Wishing you a splendid day, hugs, Sara

It can cause headaches when hanging a picture. I liked how you defined it's beauty.

thank you, Hilda! Appreciate your thoughts and comments. The pictures in my office are crooked. I don't have an 'eye' for that kind of balance. :-) Have a splendid day, hugs, Sara
