The proof is in the pudding, as they say. I took this shot just a little while ago as yes, it was snowing here in the suburbs of Montreal.
I took the cover off our holiday cottage's outdoor pool this morning and it was literally steaming hot.
The guests aren't going to like 'Nibbles' being in residence either. I just cleaned it too. Damn.
The Theme for Week 14 is Idioms. you can have Swimming with the Sharks... or Pool Shark 🎱 take your choice, but I'm not going in!
The red lights are flashing, there is a problem, techs are rushing in, we need a solution fast! It's Macro Monday and the mouse won't work. The sticker is 1.25 inches.
I struggled with this theme.
BCAD/FLL INTRODUCES THE DAMP RAMP
Ever seeking unique sources of revenue, BCAD announces the construction of a new training pool on one stand of the under-utilized Zulu ramp which has an ideal location clear of most regular taxiway traffic. This special service will be available to any airline, foreign or domestic, with significant discounts available to FLL tenant airlines. Given the unique mix of each carrier's fleet, each airline will supply its own aircraft. Slide repacking services are expected to be announced shortly by individual MROs.
ARFF will operate and maintain the new feature. As a professional endeavor, water wings, rafts, toys and umbrella drinks (FOD) will not be permitted. The pool has a capacity of 21,240 gallons and can therefore serve as an additional source of potable water for airlines participating in the program.
It's expected to be quite a hit with airside personnel, particularly during the stifling heat of the summer months. In a nod to the timing of the service launch - in conjunction with the Fort Lauderdale Air and Sea show - BCAD is also establishing the Wave Off Water Polo League (WOWPooL) open to all airport and airline employees, details and teams to be announced.
My granddaughter loves to paint rocks when she visits us. She also thinks it's fun to draw silly faces.
Macro Mondays
April Fool's
A better lens for the iPhone. A tiny Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58/2 screw-in attachment.
A re-submitted, cropped version of my first, wider angle Macro Mondays post. Apologies for that image exceeding the Macro Monday's width rules.
Yes - March had fooled us into believing in Spring, just to play an April Fool on us, and dump snow overnight!
But as the sun rose the day found me in the snow with the RXm3

Joker from a playing card. Numerous selective edits using ON1 software on a trial basis. Attempting to make an appealing image ,i.e., no “tricks” per se. Liking ON1 thus far. No LR or PS this image. Less than 2 inches.
London General MAH79, former MAL79 on route 12 towards Oxford Circus seen outside St Thomas's hospital. Have been trying to get a shot of this bus for several weks now. It is an experiment being carried out by TFL and London Central in conjunction with HU Hover Units who have replaced the rear axel with a special hover unit in a bid to find if it wll make bendy buses safer when cornering by removing the rear axle. It has been in passenger service for just a couple of weeks after a few months testing. Hover Units are a Dutch company based in Loopfralip in Holland.
Red casino die next to English peas in a bed of thyme. For Macro Mondays April Fools theme.
Many (many, many) years ago I attended a benefit for the Berkeley Art Museum called "Eat Your Art Out" which included a work involving hands carved out of cheese and placed into a similar bed of edibles. The title?..."The Hands of Cheeses Praying for Peas in our Thyme" I toyed with some variations on the basic concept before heading to the grocery to get the props for this shot.
One image becomes two when you turn the four-sided pyramid at a corner angle. There is only one Sphinx on the bottom, in the center of the pyramid. HMM
This item did not come from Egypt as you would think. My Dad brought this item back from Japan in 1985. As a paperweight, it sat on his desk for years. Item measures 2" wide.
The Mars Orbiter made a surprising discovering earlier today - a lake of fresh water the size of the UK!
Happy Macro Monday and happy April Fools Day :-))
The April 1st theme for Macro Mondays is April Fools, which includes jokes, puns, pranks, deception, illusions, hoaxes, fake objects and maybe even a little digital magic.
had a great afternoon chasing the hot air balloons.... so, while i proof the shots - u can gore at this one for a bit :)
Wouldn't it have been nice if we had all awakened today and the Covid virus had just all been an April fools Joke ... or a bad dream .
Here's another from Arches National Park, back in September. It's one of the most famous vistas in the southwest. Delicate Arch.
Kingfisher Vireo ~ (compliit bullhonki)
I am so fortunate to live close to a Cyprus swamp, full of all the magical photography settings and wildlife that inhabits it. But I was particularly lucky to come across this ultra-rare vagrant. The Kingfisher Vireo is particularly adapted to operate in these dark environments. It hunts both in the day and night with its large eyes. A Vireo that catches fish is unusual enough on its own, but this guy is capable of catching fish more then 1.5x times its size!
Thanks for visiting!

MacroMondays-AprilFools-1April2019. Once I had produced one I thought I could do better and did 2 more..... but I MUST stop now! :-)
Late afternoon in the garden. It was a warm March day and I was enjoying a float made with frozen raspberries and blackberries in pure seltzer water.
IMG_2904 - Version 2
Big surprise on Sunday morning. There were strange sounds coming from the inside of one of the breakfast eggs - then the surface of this egg started cracking, and out came a tiny shiny black nose, followed by a silver furry head with huge round black eyes. With the hole in the shell getting bigger, the egg turned over and the tiniest minimini baby seal fell out, honking and wailing with its high little voice.
We couldn't believe what we saw.... ;)
HMM and a lot of fun to you, dear Flickr friends.
52 Weeks: The 2020 Edition
An image I took and edited a number of years ago, but it fits this week's theme so well!
Just a fun picture for anyone who is nuts about Classic Minis. Please note! no Classic Minis were harmed in the taking of this photograph. "Macro Mondays". April Fools.
It looks like the little chick will be hatched in time for Easter.
Don't worry, this procedure caused no danger to the chick - he is well protected by the foil coating.
OK, as you probably have noticed, this was just an April Fool's joke. Here's the real new Windows logo! ;-)
Hope Microsoft will not get in trouble with the makers of Senso / Simon. ;-)
