Poking around our parking lot, I found an interesting van with a porthole. And in and around the porthole? Another car tree.

Poetry of the Week
On Tender Hooks
- by Brian BilstonLet me cut to the cheese:
every time you open your mouth,
I’m on tender hooks.You charge at the English language
like a bowl in a china shop.
Please nip it in the butt.On the spurt of the moment,
the phrases tumble out.
It’s time you gave up the goat.Curve your enthusiasm.
Don’t give them free range.
The chickens will come home to roast.Now you are in high dungeon.
You think me a damp squid:
on your phrases I shouldn’t impose.But they spread like wildflowers
in a doggy-dog world,
and your spear of influence grows.Posted: 2025 Apr 20

The surround of the porthole interest was well spotted. 😀
Barbara – Thank you. It might just be the case that I saw it in the photo, not in the viewfinder…
Good eye! And good for capturing it. I might have said, “Oh, interesting”, without making the effort to frame and shoot.
Judith – Many thanks, This is why I love having a good camera in my phone. I’m almost always equipped to take the shot if I feel like making the effort.
The serene clarity of the palm in the neat porthole is cunningly framed by the suggestion of violent motion in the palm’s Other Life in a hurricane. Framed again, the stillness of the misty present makes me feel that I am in one of those “thin places” where magical insights are available.
Laurna – 🙂 Yes, the impression of motion is pretty strong, isn’t it? (Here’s to magical insights.)
Very nicely spotted and captured!
Jim R – Many thanks.
