It really was my birthday on 1st April..
Imagine the slagging I got as a nipper!
My therapist, funnily enough, is always asking me the same question ;-)
Good wishes and photo FAVES greatly appreciated....hehehehe.......
(Just because I'd like to get Explored on my birthday ;-))
For Looking close on... Friday! : Made of wood.
For Macro Mondays on April 1st, “April fools"
But... what is it? The handle of a wooden rolling pin.
Riding the noticeable hump to the south of Gobowen station, an Arriva Trains Wales 2-car unit 175010, disappears with the 06.35 Holyhead - Cardiff (1V93) during a heavy downpour.
Despite the bucketing rain it was nice to get out for a change, although the recent lack of activity was rewarded with a light-engine move instead of the Dee Marsh - Margam returning steel empties - I guess the April Fool was on me.
1st April 2017
Macro Mondays 'april fools' theme.
It seems I have gained a strange new power!
As I was thinking about how to accomplish this image I was reminded of Jeremy, a warlock from the tv series Charmed, who could ignite his fingertips at will. What better image to use for 'demonic'!
119 pictures in 2019 (31) demonic
Maximum cropping.
This looks surreal, like the Droste Effect.
Late afternoon in the garden. It is a warm day and I am enjoying a float made with frozen raspberries and blackberries in pure seltzer water.

For many years I've been on the trail of the legendary Welsh Dragons. In my spare time I've studied numerous reports of sightings of these fine, graceful creatures but alas each time I've visited a location of a confirmed sighting I'm always just too late however that was about to change. I was out walking in the local Welsh hills yesterday when I heard heavy snoring coming from behind some large granite rocks. This was no ordinary snore, no human has lungs that sound like that. As I carefully walked around the rocks there, fast asleep, was a Welsh Dragon, curled up with its head resting on a one of its front legs. I immediately thought of today's Macro Monday challenge so at great personel risk of being turned into a lump of charcoal I carefully inserted my camera lens into one nostril and took a photograph of the hairs inside. It was a bright sunny day so there was enough illumination to get the shot. It was obvious, when reviewing my capture here at home, that it had not long been flaming something as some of the hairs were glowing as they cooled.

This is part of the Capri Lanes bowling alley sign a few blocks from my house. I noticed if you cropped it right it says April some while back, I think I shot this in December. Anyways Happy April! Don't be fooled today!
Primo Aprile _ Pesce d'Aprile!
Facciamo uno scherzetto agli allevatori e ai politici lobbisti, in vista delle prossime Elezioni Europee? Andiamo tutti a vedere Food For Profit!
April 1st _ April Fool's Day!
Shall we play a prank on farmers and political lobbyists, in view of the next European elections?
Let's all go see Food For Profit!
On the eve of our first day of April, we were greeted with rain, thunder, sleet, and an April blizzard brining massive snow! We have now catapulted in the 3rd snowiest winter ever on record. I can never turn away a a stroll around the neighborhood with so many photo opps.
While it was also the toughest clearing of the driveway, we were sad to learn that three or our trees went down in the backyard.
However, the snow is already melting quickly, spring is just around the corner, we cannot wait!

For thousands of years, itinerate artists have traveled around, offering famers, townsfolk and businessmen, images of the lives they live.
In Roman times, it was traveling mosaic artists crafting pictures of the farm and the vineyard on a wealthy landowner's dining room floor. Or, perhaps a merchant wanted scenes of the sea and his trading empire depicted on the floor of his new bath complex. Do you suppose the traveling mosaic artist had a pattern book to show the client? Or did he sketch an idea based on the client's dream?
There were entire schools of artists who traveled the eastern US in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, painting the farms and dairies and orchards of New England and the midwest.
In the twentieth century, Mr. Kodak's technology changed the game, bringing the ability to capture the family and farm to regular folks as well as the pros. During the Great Depression, the WPA hired photographers like, Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans to document what people were going through during that crisis. Here, we see one of the lesser known of those WPA photographers as he works with a Colorado rancher, his sons and their animals while a dust storm begins to build in the background.
NAH!
April Fools!
Like you hadn't already figured out we were playing a prank with this image...
The house in the background is the Egli House where Rose and Gottlieb Egli raised eight children. It is the only house still standing at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge where 200 families once lived.
This is obviously a forced perspective photograph of 1/24 scale plastic figures in front of a real background.
We all know the Moon is made of green cheese despite what NASA might say. Aliens love green cheese and regularly mine the moon for the stuff. We know this is true otherwise what are all those holes and dark spots on the face of the moon if not the results of cheese mining. 😁 For the Macro Mondays group, topic: April Fools. Happy Macro Monday -- a good day to enjoy some moon cheese.
Don't waste anything of the apple ;-)

Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.
By the miracle of modern miniaturization, engineers have made this tiny reproduction of a classic lens for the iPhone.
Based on an exact copy of a seventy-year-old Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58/2.
Bored with today’s flat digital images? This tiny lens produces sharp, film-like 3D pixie dust rendering for iPhone images that will wow your friends.
It screws neatly onto the existing lens of iPhones, and is available at a small fortune.

As Brian's last attempt at getting a girlfriend didn't work out, his friends thought it would be great fun to get him one of those blow-up rubber snails for April Fools' Day. Unfortunately, his technique of eye-stalk tickling isn't having the desired effect - should have gone to Specsavers Brian!
For Macro Mondays theme 'April Fools'.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph, but Brian got rather frustrated...
Imagine our surprise when we cracked open our eggs for Sunday breakfast and we discovered these cuties!
Macro Monday theme - April Fools
Happy Macro Monday!
I don't really do animal photography but there aren't many lizards native to the UK, the aprilisstultus is particularly rare so far north, they tend to prefer the warmer weather in Wales.
So when one turns up in your garden eating your raspberries you've got to get a shot or two off right?
This April Fools macro is in compliance with the Macro Mondays size requirements.

My wife burst into our bedroom and said we needed to call the burly emergency plumber as there was water running down the stairs.
Today the Hereios of the We're Here! group are focusing on absurdities.

Flickr toys gives us presents a few times each year. These have not been all on Explore. These are my most popular pics that are on flickr. There were many, many more pages because I have over 7000 pics on flickr. For April Fools', this year... I decided that I wanted to display the 4 pages which are my most popular creations and images.
