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
Mysteries, Four of the Simple Ones
And when the blue heron, breaking his long breast feathers,
sees one feather fall, does he know I will find it?
Will he see me holding it in my hand?as he opens his wings
softly and without a soundโ
as he rises and floats over the water?Read the whole poem by Mary Oliver, here.

The surround of the porthole interest was well spotted. ๐
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 – ๐ 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.
