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. In this one a Hover Fly joined in! Pleased with results.
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.

Probably a Pultanaea sp. but happy to receive ID suggestions. The oof red bottom left is a couple of Dusky Coral Pea flowers. Barragga Bay, NSW Far South Coast.
My history on this is subject to correction by our Brit friends. But this is the bloom from a Pigeon Pea I grew, the seeds being supplied by a friend from Puerto Rico. I understand that the Pigeon Pea is the same thing as the Carlin Pea of English fame, going back to Elizabeth I. They were grown in the gardens of English Monasteries Later, on this Sunday in Lent, they were fed by the Church to children as a special treat. I have heard that these are the peas referred to in "Pease porridge hot, Pease porridge cold, Pease porridge in the pot nine day old." In any event, happy Carlin Pea Sunday!
The Domos totally freaked out when Wage suggested they snack on fresh peas instead of candy and cookies.

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.

The Sweet Peas Stu planted are flowering! I love peas and there is nothing like fresh from the garden.
Update: Got to taste them this morning (June 9) OMG, so crunch and sweet, l love them already 😋
Peacocks (and Peahens) roam the grounds of Staglands Wildlife Park, north-west of the outer Wellington suburb of Upper Hutt.
And whether the Boys are displaying their spectacular tail feathers, are just strutting around, or (as in this case) just taking some Time Out, they are beautiful birds!
Blue Peafowl (above) originated in India and Sri Lanka, but as "New Zealand Birds On Line" (www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/peafowl) have noted,
Pea Fowl are now held on many lifestyle properties throughout the country, and have even become feral in the upper North Island, especially around parts of Northland, Auckland, East Cape and mid-Hawkes Bay.
Pea Fowl are related to Pheasants - something that I wasn't aware of...!
My In-Laws had Pea Fowl on their farm, but the birds - though tolerated - were regarded as pests because they were noisy, and fowled paddocks with their waste, making the grass less than tasty for livestock!
Thanks for taking the time and trouble to leave a Comment Folks. It's always nice to hear from you, and your comments are always very much appreciated...!
Whether you eat your peas or not, this Pea Costume Girl minifigure is a great vegetable for your collection. I love the green lips this figure has on both of its facial expressions, along with a fun torso print with a bowl of salad on it (for whatever reason). Pea Costume Girl comes with an apple, though I’m not sure I understand why.
Feel Tips: This is one of the easier minifigures to feel for as the pea costume is quite large. Feel for for the rounded peas on the front of the costume piece as well as the point on top.
