Freak Of Nature
Monday, November 24th, 2008
I found this hubcap (hubcapius automotus) growing wild next to Santiam Hospital on 10th Ave. the other day. It seemed to be thriving (note the lack of rust), even though the weather has turned cold and damp. I was a little worried for it, because it seemed to be alone; I understand they do better in groups of four. I hope there were others nearby.
I feel fortunate I was able to catch a glimpse of it, since the wild hubcap is rarely found outside of captivity. Civilization has unfortunately encroached on its natural habitat.

An ironic contrast strongly, nature and refusals that they often escape to the human being.
A regard.
