This is a larger version of the Pea Pods. This is also the way I use up scrap pieces of odd shaped watercolor paper. LOL!
My contribution to the menu is grilled sugar snap peas and stuffed Portabello mushrooms. The grilled sugar snap peas are a repeat of what Leslie Anne had tried with great success for our last dinner date together. The stuffed Portabello mushrooms were an experiment. For years, I had seen the stuffed mushrooms already prepared for the oven or grill in the stores but had never tried them that way.
As usual with most veggies, I trimmed off the slightly woody ends and put them into a plastic veggie bag with some olive oil and Montreal Steak Seasoning to coat them. I rugged a little olive oil on the caps of the mushrooms and cooked them cap side down so the cheese and corn stuffing would not fall out. The grill time is about midway through the cooking time of the grilled salmon, just after I turned the fish over,

The garden is acting odd this spring, probably due to the very cold weather we've experienced. Usually the sweet pea vines are much taller and hardier before the flowers begin to bloom, but not so this year.
Macro shot of pea pods, for Still Life With group. I balanced the open peapod in the bowl of peas, and positioned reflective light on either side for this shot.
Shot with a Canon 20D and a 100mm Macro with a fairly wide (for me!) 7.1 fstop. But, obviously, there's still not a whole lot of DOF.
I did a small curves adjustment in Photoshop.
Later, I made the peas into a creamy pea and pancetta pasta. Yum.
Took a ride down to Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge this afternoon. Love it down there. My mom came with me and we found a section of beach with absolutely nobody else on it. Love coming down here off-season because you can find solitude in some very beautiful places.

Great!
I was too busy eating and enjoying to photograph the rest of our meal: pickles, buns, cretons, ham, bacon, pork rinds, beans, weiners, scrambled eggs, maple syrup of course, sugar pie, coffee, milk, water.
Great Quebec sugar shack feast. :)

A little bit a fall color with one of the canons at the Pea Ridge National Military Park in Garfield, Arkansas.
Large Wedge-pea (Gompholobium grandiflorum). Photographed along the Mount Wilson East Powerline track, a short distance from Mount Wilson Road in Blue Mountains National Park, just outside of Mount Wilson, New South Wales, Australia.
And in despair I bow'd my head:

I've been amazed recently at the number of people who've confessed to me that they've never eaten a raw pea.
I grew up eating them by the armful from my mum's vegetable garden, and they're so delicious that mum refuses to actually cook them, reserving that fate for Mr Birdseye's produce.
I thought that if people had never eaten a raw pea they might never have even _seen_ a raw pea, so I scanned a few of them in before I ate them.
They were yummy.

The peas are in the ground. I can't believe spring is here so quickly. I'm not complaining! I've been absent from flickr lately and missing your streams. Hopefully I'll return soon. Trying to make some positive changes in my life and those things take time. I'm hoping to get my camera involved soon!
Ahhhh, who doesn't remember Bowser? Surely we all should visualize "Whirled Peas!" Certainly, Ramey didn't need a lot of lubricants for his hay rake or his nag, especially in barrel quantities. I guess that this floated in from points west or Lyons. This looks like it's for tractors even though it's marked, "Since 1839." I wonder what lubricants were really used before Titusville, PA or the building of America's railroads? Save the whales; collect the entire set! There are mot many of those utility style light bulbs left in circulation.
I mentioned that I thought the Ramey spread was a dirt-poor farm and a lot of work was needed to stay above water, so to speak. Heck, he even labored so hard, he worked the handles off that wheelbarrow. I had headed out to the Ramey farm once again to inspect the farm for details and came away with some more. The remains of the rake won't last too very long in the weather and floods. I moved around the house and looked for shots untaken. I don't want to leave anything unshot. The sheds were already rebuilt and the house reroofed before the floods and now they are on their last legs. BoCo rescued the sheds but I guess the floods have tipped them over the brink. I have no idea why the county decided to prop the old buildings, behind me, by throwing in even more lumber but they claim the Ramey place is old, and it must be. The out buildings are not so good after the river undercut them. The textures and details caught my eye. I think back to the working days of the farm and wonder how busy and productive the Ramey place might have been? The hay days mostly meant a lot of haying to lay in cattle feed for the winter. I bet he never laid up any of those illegal round bales.
I have a Ramey PhotoSet filled with before flood shots and some that show the damage to the pasture on the north side and structures. One fissure shows in the bottom of this image. In fact walking across the pasture and through the structures involves tracking around all the fissures all over the place, or travel with a ladder. The Ramey photoset is under farms. A lot of the shots are at better times. I guess this is another loss to water diversions and gravel mining. The 61st street road has been rebuilt down to the 63rd Street bridge past the gate at Broley and I can now drive in. Apparently, the water streamed up to 4 feet high over Ramey. We all know oil floats. The pond south of Broley overflowed everywhere including Ramey after the floods cut through the gravel pits around Broley and sliced through 61st Street and rejoined the original St.Vrain. California can't seem to get a drop an the northeastern tier can't buy a degree. What Climate Change? I guess America's biggest enemy will be the upcoming petroleum wars. We expect a week below freezing but I feel like I gotta get outta here.
After a day of rain and sight seeing, we hiked a trail in the Volcanoes National Park and spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon at Punaluʻu Beach. While the girls were snorkeling I walked around with the camera to take pictures of the butterflies along the roadside. This was the only new species seen at this location.
My parents, wife, daughters, and sister's family spent the holidays on Maui together. With kids in high school, middle school, and almost out of elementary school the ages allowed for memory making with this extended family trip. I'll be adding photos from the trip with small descriptions of them.

I was totally inspired by the Wren Cottage who did the Princess and the Pea under glass. ( you can see the pic in my "favorites") I thought it would make a fun fabric book. I found this antique belt buckle at an antique store on Monday, I knew it would make a perfect closure. Sorry about the poor quality of photo... can't find my camera battery charger... AGAIN!!! so I had to scan. It is vintage black velvet and VERY soft!!!
