Poking around our parking lot, I found an interesting van with a porthole. And in and around the porthole? Another car tree.
Photo Memory of the Week
Cloud of the Week
Ladies and gentlemen, meet this week's cloud(s). I stumbled across it while walking to a clematis-site sighting from the previous day. By the time I got somewhere without any intervening tree branches, the cloud and the colours had moved on.

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.
