I'm really enjoying my sweet peas in the garden this year, lots of colour and the perfume is wonderful.
While commuting home from work on a foggy December evening, I noticed VIA #2, running slightly behind schedule, holding for a signal to approach the Fraser River Bridge. I took a the next exit, and managed to catch the train as it entered, and then exited CN's Thornton Yard.
Given the absence of light other than that cast by the crossing signals, and distant street lights I'm quite happy my camera was able to freeze the train in this image, as it accelerated back to 55mph after crawling through the yard.
Firstly, this one looked scary, not to mention the plumage atop its head. I was pleasantly surprised to see visitors taking portraits of themselves (not selfies) with their faces within pecking distance of the bird. I waited for everyone for the crowd to dissipate before shooting. I was convinced that anytime the fowl will come and beak the lens. Thankfully, it was kind enough to participate in the shoot.
Pink splashes of Sweet Peas spread contagiously throughout my old garden in attempts to remind me there is possibility, there is hope.
sigh.
while i was on travel last week, pea got into a scrap with one of my ex-wife's dogs over some doggy treat. (she stays with the ex- and the kids while i'm out of town). pea ended up with two puncture wounds on her legs and an infection. i took her to the vet today to get her fixed up rather than take the risk of it getting worse.
$300...
sigh.
but i love her, so whatcha gonna do.
…… Another ‘at home’ day doing a few little jobs and trying to avoid the heat! Jill found a shady spot to harvest the Blackcurrants and picked the Sweet peas which have had another flurry - and they made it to be my #191 picture of the day again! Taken on my Phone in Apple RAW and edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)

Sea Pea / lathyrus japonicus. Sizewell, Suffolk. 15/08/20.
'LIVING ON THE EDGE.'
A coastal plant and nationally scarce in the UK. I've only ever seen Sea Pea growing at the back of the shingle beach at Sizewell and sadly now, in ever diminishing quantity. I've read that once it was so abundant along the East Anglian coastland that it was harvested by the inhabitants of Aldeburgh in times of famine. Now it is a protected plant under the Wildlife & Countryside Act of 1981 and must not be picked.
You need to be flat on the ground and face to face with it to appreciate the full beauty of it's flowers.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
This Pea-chick seemed to be saying "Look at my legs - they're getting really strong !!"
Seen at the Los Angeles County Arboretum.
Great-Grandma & Zane.
Today would have been my parents' 69th Wedding Anniversary! (But my Dad died just before their 31st Wedding Anniversary).
We took Zane to visit his Great-Grandma today. Mum enjoyed showing Zane how she was growing Snow Peas.
