Yesterday dawned very foggy so I grabbed my camera for a quick walk around the wetlands before starting work. The phrase pea soup described the gritty polluted air in London during the winters. Our air is not quite so polluted but there is a fair number of wood burning stoves with particulate matter. (We have one too). But there was much beauty walking in the quiet fog at Frog Hollow.

Dad, what is this stuff?
"Peas."
Okay, PLEASE what is this stuff?
"Peas are growing here, Clancy."
Hahaha, and what's growing way off behind me, poos?
"That's corn."
Corn? You mean there's corn in the poos? hahahahaha!
"I swear you're becoming more ridiculous all the time."
I'm becoming poo corny for you?
"Please."
You mean peas.
Hey, look what's growing over there, thank yous!
"Ay, caramba."

Sleepless nights are guaranteed for the Princess on the Pea, and she might very well throw a tantrum if her prince offered her a mattress like this. Now there are neither peas nor roses in this photo but needle-sharp spikes, even though the centre spike which I've focused on looks as soft as a Hershey's Kiss in this close-up. But believe me, those spikes aren't soft at all. The "spike blossoms" also aren't rose-shaped (but to me, they look like roses) but are supposed to represent lotus blossoms, and, as the manufacturer promises, they "hurt so good". It's a detail of a massage/acupressure mat that I've photographed before for our October 2018 theme "Remedy" (please check the first comment; in that photo, you can also see better how the mat is constructed and how spikey the spikes really are).
The spikes on each lotus blossom are constructed so that they won't injure the user; instead, they are supposed to relieve back and other pain, stimulate blood circulation and bring deep relaxation. So who knows, maybe the princess will thank her prince after all ;) I still can't deny or confirm this because once again I've only borrowed the mat for the photo; this time an all-new palm rest my mother, magrit k., had ordered for her desk and computer work. I placed my hand on it a few times, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I still can't imagine lying down on an entire mat covered with these (admittedly beautiful-looking) spikey things.
This time, I tried to get as close as possible and so focused on the centre part of a single lotus blossom. It's a single capture shot wide open at F 2.8 because I liked how the "petals" transitioned into the blur and turned into soft flames.
Size info: The centre part of this single blossom is 1,8 cm / 0,70 inches wide (and the whole diameter of a single blossom is 3 cm / 1,18 inches).
HMM, Everyone!
We followed the Rogue River for part of our drive from Crescent City CA to Crater Lake OR. These pretty purple Sweet Peas were growing near the river. HCS!

Sweet peas posing
2020-08-22-1293
These are flowers from the seeds shown germinating three months ago: www.flickr.com/photos/mikewigg/49924154976/in/dateposted-...
We have had 66 days locked-down plus 21 each of Phases One and Two, and now 44 of Phase Three: 152.
The sweet peas are planted alongside the fence that leads to our door ... their heavenly scent greets us on exit and entry. Rosa plants them just for me (so she says) because they are my favourite (along with tulips). From year-to-year we never know what colours we will get - this year we have 4 distinct colours including the 'fuchsia' that you see here. A few others from years past are in the first comment box.
