Only a fool, like fools before me
I always think with my heart
Only a fool
That same old story
Seems I was born for the part
It's a lesson that I've learned
And a page I should have turned
I shouldn't cry, but I do
Like an ordinary fool
When her ordinary dreams fall through
My new backyard in Arizona is bordered by the Sitgreaves National Forest. The NF has the largest stand of Ponderosa pines in the USA.
The Apache–Sitgreaves National Forests are two 2.76-million-acre United States National Forests which run along the Mogollon Rim and the White Mountains in east-central Arizona and into the U.S. state of New Mexico. Wikipedia
As always, thanks so much for taking a look.

I took this a while ago while shooting with Amabile. I actually forgot about it and while going through the file it sort of jumped out at me.
This was take at the Birks of Aberfeldy, a truly beautiful walk.

There is nice detail if you care to take the time and view LARGE or ORIGINAL. Thanks!!!

For Macro Mondays - April Fools
No fingers were hurt in the making of this image. Sometimes you just can't believe everything you see.
Happy Macro Monday!
The Spruce Grouse also known as the fool hen is native to coniferous forests throughout North America. I captured this male near the shores of the Lower Kananaskis Lake in Alberta.
This was on the evening of April Fools Day. I thought this was a perfect moon for the biggest pranking day of the year...the way it looks almost full...but isn't..kind of fooling you. I guess you could call it a fool moon ;-)
I know, I know...sorry for the bad pun! Have a wonderful Tuesday, my friends!
I'm standing alone,
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone,
you're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold

The secretive Gray Catbird, with its distinctive cat-like
mewing note, is a common winter resident in Florida.
Many pass through the state during migration.
Gray Catbirds are one of the most common species that non-birders in their range are likely to have never seen nor identified. The catbird’s rather bland coloration – slate gray with a black cap and chestnut under the tail – doesn’t attract attention, and unlike their cousins, the mockingbirds, that often sing from exposed perches, catbirds prefer to sing their jumbled songs from cover. And it is the sounds that catbirds make that give them their name and makes it at all likely that their presence will be noted.
Gray Catbirds, to put it simply, have a call note that sounds like a cat with a scratchy and short meow. This sound emanating from a tangle of brush can easily fool those not in the know. The song of the Gray Catbird, however, is nothing like a cat meowing: like the mockingbird and thrasher the catbird often mimics other birds and sounds but it tends not to repeat itself. The rule of thumb is that if a phrase is repeated three times in a row it is a mockingbird, it it is repeated twice a thrasher is singing, and if each phrase of the song is sang just once one is dealing with a catbird.
I found this one in my backyard in Lake Wales, Polk County, Florida.

"The Narrenturm (Fool's Tower) in Vienna is continental Europe's oldest building for the accommodation of psychiatric patients. Built in 1784, it is next to the site of the old Vienna General Hospital, and is now home to the Federal Pathologic-Anatomical Museum Vienna (Pathologisch-anatomisches Bundesmuseum Wien)."

This is the walkway with railing for swimmers at Skippingstone Beach in Bangor. You can see across Belfast Lough to Whitehead top left.
An old fellow had just left the water. Most of the regular sea swimmers you see in County Down are of the older persuasion. I must have a dip here sometime, but I'd pick a warmer day and leave my camera gear at home. My dog Pippin was getting rather impatient as I fooled around with long exposures. He wanted me to throw stones into the sea for him, and would bark at me for attention.

Taken on the morning of April the 1st.After seeing Brad Eadie's recent upload from the Quiraing I thought as it is more on my doorstep, than his. I should make the effort to get a sunrise picture of that tree at the Quiraing. Because of the Pandemic Lockdown, I was alone on the hillside having the luxury to plant my tripod feet wherever I wanted.Brad's image has the advantage of clouds, this no only adds interest to the sky but diffuses and saturates the light falling on the land.

Lyrics translate:
Fool's Lullaby
You should be sleeping a long time ago, my dear sheep,
even the birds finished their song.
The wind has stopped blowing 'cause of us,
only the moth is staring from the outside.
I know her grudge, so try to hide somewhere,
she's wearing a white cloak again and the window is barred.
Chorus:
You should be sleeping a long time ago, my little sheep
and stay warm, you can keep me warm,
however they'll come to inquire,
tomorrow they'll come to inquire me again,
if you are fading away from my imagination.
You should be sleeping a long time ago, my dear sheep,
the dark midnight is here.
Tomorrow they'll scold us-fools,
'cause you like to eat the breakfast with me.
Why should I lie to them, that I'm here alone,
while I love You, while You are here with me.
Ch:

I’m a fool for that shake in your thighs
I’m a fool for that sound in your sighs
I’m a fool for your belly
I’m a fool for your love
I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hm, but stay, don’t close your hands
I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hm, but stay, don’t close your hands
Caught in this pool held in your eyes
Caught like a fool without a line
We’re in a natural spring
With this gentle sting between us
I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hm, but stay, don’t close your hands
I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hm, but stay, don’t close your hands
Oh stay open
Oh stay open
Stay open
Stay open
I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hmm, but stay, don’t close your hands
I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hm, but stay, don’t close your hands
(lyrics from Rhye - Open)

Another image of the Mersey Gateway Bridge from my recent wanderings around Spike Island in Widnes. Apparently the Stone Roses played an historic gig here over 30 years ago following the release of Fool's Gold, with an audience of over 27,000 people.
As I drove along the wetlands in Alviso, I saw this off to the side and thought to myself "That's kind of a strange looking duck".
So I whipped my Jeep off the road and parked, loaded my long lens, got out and started sneaking up on him, shooting as I went along, hoping to get a good shot, but not wanting to scare him off.
I finally realized that he wasn't moving. DOH! Decoy got me.
Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end,
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again,
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know !
"I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold"
