Came across these Sweet Peas on the verge today. Just has a 35mm lens on the camera so decided to try some close up flower shots with that. Pleased with results.

So I've done this before, way back in 2010, aka Simpler Times. I finished that year, made it through half of 2011 before burning out and then tried again in 2012. That one lasted a month.
Fast forward to 2016. I wasn't even sure if people still used flickr. I'm still not sure. Nowadays it's Instagram and Twitter and Snapchat and whatever else kids these days are into. But I figured flickr worked back then so it'll probably still work now. It looks a little different than I remember, I guess you can't blame somebody for rearranging the furniture every once in a while.
So anyway, I'm looking forward to taking pictures again. I've been doing videos the last few years so my camera has always been near by. But I've been forgetting to just stop, focus and shoot. So that's why I'm here again. To see if I can do 2010 one better and finish a three-sixty-SIX....or not. But at least pick my camera up and shoot a few pictures I wouldn't have otherwise. With a little luck (and a few black eyed-peas) I just might make it to the end again.
Decerto que a infância é como a história do peão: vem numa caixa e numa caixa vai. Um dia essa caixa arrumada, sabe-se lá onde, é encontrada. Haverá coragem para abrir essa caixa de Pandora?
We have been having a lot of fog lately and today was extremely heavy in my part of the city.
I have to work at night today and will check you out tomorrow.
Friday nights weather event of low fog sitting over Raby Bay Harbour. It was thick, it was eerie and it was awesome. You could hear the chatter and laughter of the patrons enjoying themselves in the boardwalk restaurants but you just couldn't see them.
Morning rain and storms hit Brisbane and much of South-East QLD during Friday morning which allowed for low level moisture to linger for much of the day as it became trapped under thick cloud and wasn’t allowed to evaporate. As the day progressed, the sun struggled to peak through and this allowed the second chain in the process to occur and that was cold temperatures. Brisbane experienced its coldest day in 3 years yesterday and it doesn’t matter if it wasn’t cold in reality… for the region, it was. The increased moisture caused by showers in the atmosphere allowed for the third chain in the process to occur and thats where the increased moisture mixing with cooler temperatures and surface humidity allows clouds to descend and act as fog.

The Domos totally freaked out when Wage suggested they snack on fresh peas instead of candy and cookies.

Last August when I got quite a few of my more recent postings from Eyre Peninsula on South Australia's west coast region, I got another shot of Sturt Desert Pea. This is South Australia's Floral Emblem.
An old image recently worked on. I have planted Sweet Peas for this year, but they are not in flower yet...a consequence pf living in this part of Scotland perhaps?
Rosary pea has been widely used in Florida as an ornamental plant. The native range of rosary pea is India and parts of Asia, where this plant is used for various purposes. The roots of this plant are used to induce abortion and relieve abdominal discomfort. The seeds of this plant are so uniform in size and weight that they are used as standards in weight measurement. The seeds can also be used to make jewelry. Interestingly, one of the most deadly plant toxins, abrin, is produced by rosary pea (Abrus precatorius). Studies have shown that as little as 0.00015% of toxin per body weight will cause fatality in humans (a single seed). Interestingly, birds appear to be unaffected by the deadly toxin as they have been shown to readily disperse rosary pea seed.
Rosary pea is a small, high climbing vine with alternately compound leaves, 2-5 inches long, with 5 to 15 pairs of oblong leaflets. A key characteristic in identifying rosary pea is the lack of a terminal leaflet on the compound leaves. The flowers are small, pale, and violet to pink, clustered in leaf axils. The fruit is characteristic of a legume. The pod is oblong, flat and truncate shaped, roughly 1½ - 2 inches long. This seedpod curls back when it opens, revealing the seeds. The seeds are small, brilliant red with a black spot. These characteristics give the plant another common name, crab’s eyes.

and tiny purple artichokes - spring is here. Seeing and smellling these peas-in-a-pod takes me back to my childhood and our back garden, where had rows of peas and we would hide among them eating the raw peas and biting into the crispy, juicy pods.
