Guess what we woke up to today? Yes ... snow! Mother Nature's version of an April Fools' joke I suppose? Fortunately it is only a few centimetres and not as much as on this day in February. Mercifully all of this has melted and although there is snow on the ground today, the lake ice is almost gone and Spring is slowly showing its kinder, warmer, gentler face.
This is the back of our house with Nina, Rosa and Tess respectively serving as my winter models. Below is a view of my house taken from the lake ... for a variety of photos of the view from my front yard check out ...
The localizing of fools is common to most countries, and there are many other reputed imbecile centres in different countries. In the Netherlands it is (among others) the people of Kampen, were a "Kamper onion" is a name for spot and plague story in which the pretensions and stupidity of its residents are depicted.

thời gian vừa rồi muốn làm bộ ảnh "tự kỉ", nhưng cứ lần lữa mãi. đêm qua mới bắt tay vào chụp và PS, và up luôn :))
thật ra nó bắt đầu từ những việc xảy đến với mình trong thời gian qua.
Đó là những lúc chợt nhận ra mình đang tự mắc vào mớ nhằng nhịt do chính mình tạo ra,làm đau ng` khác, nhưng hơn bao h hết là làm đau chính mình.
Đó là những lúc tự động viên mình cố gắng, tự tưới nước cho cái cây Tâm hồn mình, tự tháo gỡ những rắc rối - chuyện gia đình-bạn bè-tình cảm-xã hội- bản thân... blah blah tứ tung cả
Đó là những lúc mua 1 đống len về nghịch, đan hết cái nọ đến cái kia, mỗi thứ 1 ít, bày bừa ra giường,để thấy cuộc sống thật nhiều màu sắc,để thấy yêu mọi ng`, và Yêu Mình
Đó là...
Đó là...
và..đó là những lúc ngồi Tổng kết lại những chuyện đã qua,thấy mọi thứ đều Vô Thường quá...bỗng thấy hoài nghi mọi chuyện,rồi hoài nghi Chính mình

( 4 me )
It makes you blind, it does you in
It makes you think you're pretty tough
It makes you prone to crime and sin
It makes you say thing off the cuff
It's very small and made of glass
And grossly over-advertised
It turns a genius into an ass
And makes a fool think he is wise
It could make you regret your birth
Or turn cartwheels in your best suit
It costs a lot more than it's worth
And yet there is no substitute
They keep it on a higher shelf
The older and more pure it grows
It has no color in itself
But it can make you see rainbows
You can find it at the Bowery
Or you can find it at Elaine's
It makes your words more flowery
It makes the sun shine, makes it rain
You just get what they put in
And they never put in enough
Love is like a bottle of gin
But a bottle of gin is not like love

Keeping the subject in frame can be very difficult when you are shooting a fast subject, very close, and hand holding 1200 mm. Thousandths of a second can make all the difference. Trying to predict the unpredictable is always challenging but nature photography requires, at least, a bit of this. After all is said and done, nothing replaces persistence and luck. Hence, the more you shoot, the better your chances at getting “that shot.”
Like the bald eagle, the peregrine falcon was nearly eradicated from this earth by the use of DDT. The eagle gained more notoriety, as the symbol of the USA but it was not the only bird to suffer. We are currently in the hands of an administration that sees no limits to the destruction of our wild places in the name of profit. If you support Trump but claim to be pro-nature, then you are either wearing blinders or simply fooling yourself. You’re not fooling me. #PeregrineFalcon
Taken for Week 14, Starting Wednesday April 1st 2020, 52 Weeks: The 2020 Edition theme 'April Fool'.
I could not decide what to do for this theme until I sat down for breakfast this morning.
This is cropped to 16x9 but otherwise is straight out of the camera.
Give fools their gold and knaves their power;
let fortune's bubbles rise and fall;
who sows a field or trains a flower,
or plants a tree, is more than all.
--from "A Song of Harvest" by John Greenleaf Whittier
Since I didn't have any great ideas on how to develop the theme of "Fool's Gold" in the Blythe a Day group, I did what I could with it, with this quote by John Greenleaf Whittier and a couple of props. Then I focused on this as a chance to do a comparison picture between Blythe Adores Anna Sui and Lady Camellia. Their hair is very similar in color; Anna's is a bit more purple, while Camellia's is a little more brown. The biggest difference between them is their makeup; Anna has a lot of color, while Camellia has much less. It's funny that when they are side-by-side, I like the more natural look of Lady Camellia, but in real life, I prefer Anna Sui. In fact, Anna (whom I call Zelda) is my favorite Blythe doll. Which do you prefer?
Anna's dress is by Endangered Sissy; Camellia's is the stock dress from Spright Beauty. I've never used this stock dress since I took it off SB...I think the fairy wings on the back made me think it could only be a fairy dress, but I just realized that the wings detach, and without them it looks like a perfectly nice dress for any doll.
Dear diary,
I’m not sure what happened after I blacked out in the sirens’ lair. When I finally awoke, I was in the arms of an angelic, mermaid princess! I thought I had died and gone to undersea heaven! She told me I was alive and not to fear. Her father, King Triton, had sent his agents to rescue me from their blood-thirsty cousins. They say I’m “the chosen one”, foretold to complete a great task… When I finally met with King Triton, however, I was handed a toolbox and plunger and then sent down to the trenches. What’s so great about that?!… I wonder if he’s mad that I touched his daughter’s clam…

For April Fool's Day, I decided to build a tribute to my favorite fool from Bart's "Clumsy Pete" series.

This was shot for a production of the Sam Shepard play "Fool for Love," incorporating themes from the play and putting to use my '64 Chevy pickup.
For those that do travel on to Stockton Beach, there are plenty of signs warning not to take your vehicles into the sand dunes outside the recreational vehicle area. Yet fools persist.

Josephine Dunn (1906-1983) was an American film actress of the 1920s and 1930s.
Mary Josephine Dunn was born in New York City, in 1906. She grew up in her native New York and attended Holy Cross Convent, a Catholic girls' school there. At the age of 14, she became a chorus girl at the Winter Garden Theatre in 'Good Morning, Dearie'. After her first successes, Dunn dropped out of school and from then on devoted herself exclusively to the theatre. She was briefly in the Ziegfeld Follies and, in 1924, had a walk-on in 'Dear Sir' on Broadway. Two years later, she was picked by a talent scout to join the Paramount acting school for hopeful young debutantes. She began her Hollywood career with a small role alongside Thelma Todd in Fascinating Youth (Sam Wood, 1926). She graduated from the Paramount Pictures School, which was set up by Paramount Pictures for their young actors without a high school diploma. A ravishing blue-eyed blonde, she made an impression in D.W. Griffith's The Sorrows of Satan (1926). In 1927 Dunn got her first leading role opposite Evelyn Brent in Love's Greatest Mistake (A. Edward Sutherland, 1927). In 1927, she played the female lead alongside Al Jolson in the Warner Brothers-produced The Singing Fool (1927), a sequel to the hugely successful The Jazz Singer of the same year, but which failed to match the success of its predecessor. After another leading role opposite Wallace Beery in Fireman, Save My Child (A. Edward Sutherland, 1927), she took a nine-month break. Then she joined Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and acted in Our Modern Maidens (Jack Conway, 1929) with Joan Crawford and Anita Page. She married Clyde Greathouse during the mid-1920s, divorcing him shortly thereafter. In 1925 she married William P. Cameron, whom she also divorced in 1928. She would star in a total of twenty-three silent films, and in 1929 she was one of thirteen WAMPAS Baby Stars, which that year also included actress Jean Arthur.
In 1930 Josephine Dunn made a successful transition, unlike many silent stars, to sound films. She starred in Safety in Numbers (Victor Schertzinger, 1930) alongside Charles 'Buddy' Rogers and Kathryn Crawford. She had good reviews in the Ernst Lubitsch-directed operetta One Hour with You (1932) as Mademoiselle Martel. She starred in sixteen films through 1932, and at the peak of her career in 1933 she played vamps and mercenary wives. That same year, she married Eugene J. Lewis, whom she divorced in 1935 to marry Carroll Case, whose father Frank Case owned the Algonquin Hotel in New York City, which housed the now-famous Algonquin Round Table. In the 1920s, Dunn had already become associated with the Algonquin Round Table, a meeting place for a group of actors, critics, wits, and writers, between 1919 and 1929. Dunn retired from acting in 1938 and remained with Case for the remainder of his life. She made sporadic appearances in summer stock during the 1940s. Her husband died in 1978 and Josephine Dunn died 6 years later in 1983, in Thousand Oaks, California, aged 76. The actress was buried alongside her husband in a columbarium at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.

One lone hydrangea dared to bloom in January, fooled by the unseasonably warm weather, only to be frozen in its prime by the first freeze. Bayside, NYC -- 1//7/16
Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!
Bright and yellow, hard and cold
Molten, graven, hammered and rolled,
Heavy to get and light to hold,
Hoarded, bartered, bought and sold,
Stolen, borrowed, squandered, doled,
Spurned by young, but hung by old
To the verge of a church yard mold;
Price of many a crime untold.
Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!
Good or bad a thousand fold!
How widely it agencies vary,
To save - to ruin - to curse - to bless -
As even its minted coins express :
Now stamped with the image of Queen Bess,
And now of a bloody Mary.

A shot from today's dress rehearsal of 'The Nutcracker' by Scottish Ballet, which opens at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh this weekend and is on until January 3rd.
After this, it goes on tour.

The dancers here are (from L to R)): Lewis Landini; Jamiel Laurence; and Victor Zarallo.
You can buy tickets, here:

I had a lot of fun shooting this. Dance is about as difficult as it comes to shoot...but that's what makes it fun. There's a lot of frustration from moments that you inevitably miss, but the ones that you manage to catch, are a joy.
You can see other shots from this production, here:
My thanks are due to Christina Riley and Ann Nugent from Scottish Ballet.

A four move checkmate. This "fool's mate", as it is sometimes known, is only useful on novice players. Anyone who plays chess with any degree of competency can see through it quite quickly.
"Then he told them a parable: ‘There was once a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself, “What am I to do? I have not enough room to store my crops.” Then he said, “This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them, and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink, have a good time.” But God said to him, “Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?” So it is when a man stores up treasure for himself in place of making himself rich in the sight of God.’"
– Luke 12:16-21, which is part of today's Gospel at Mass.
