Blythe Physical Challenge #25 - April Fool
At the minimarket, Edna found some money on the ground.
Edna doesn't realise the notes are actually paper napkins! No good for paying for stuff but perfectly good for blowing your nose in.
Audrey, Daphne and some random lady look on. Audrey and Daphne are having a good giggle.
We left the fake money dotted around and retired to the car. It was funny to see peoples' reactions when they see 'money' on the floor. Not a single person picked it up but we got lots of double takes!
Love me, love me
say that you love me
fool me, fool me
go on and fool me
love me, love me
pretend that you love me..."

Had that classic track stuck in my head since the week before last
when I heard the punk cover by New Found Glory.

A fool’s errand is a task or activity that has no hope of success. A fool is a person who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person or a jester or clown, especially one retained in a royal or noble household.
Isot Maddrell wasn’t entirely sure if it was just her or if everybody got treated like this. She was fresh out of school and had only had a few small jobs but it seemed to happen every time.
When she was working part time at the pizzeria her boss would send her to the fridge to look for things that didn’t exist, like the dough repair kit, then burst out laughing when she’d come back empty handed. When her dad managed to wangle her a junior role in a very well known Michelin starred restaurant the head chef there delighted in asking her to fetch the souffle pump. In all fairness Isot was a hard worker and was really just trying to be helpful but her bosses always left her feeling like she was the butt of the joke.
That was until the day she decided that working for other people was just another form of indentured servitude. She is now a famous international artist known for her many idiosnycratic works such as Glass Hammer (2011), Can of Steam (2012), Dough repair kit (2012), tin of tartan paint (2013), sound powered phone batteries (2016) and Brick bender (2015). ‘Who’s the fool now?’ Isot chuckles to herself as she spends yet another weekend in San Tropez…

The Fool (Zero) [though sometimes 22] strives for experience. With most humans, playing on the edge of a cliff could end *badly*; in the land of tarot the characters luckily aren't limited by such concepts as gravity. Tarot allows mere mortals to expand in ways some might conceive as difficult, strange, or absurd. Times change, and people need to adapt to their current reality, even if that means stepping off a cliff.
How else can progress be gained except through experience?
God looks out for fools and children, as the saying goes! On our first morning railfanning the UP's Blair Sub, we had both categories covered. My 11-year old and 11-month old sons had the latter covered. I fit the bill for the former, what with attempting to find a train with no scanner, no ATCS, and an 11-month old along!!! We had been buzzing up and down between Arlington and this spot 3 miles east of Kennard, NE since before sunrise and not seen a single train. Both the boys were ready to head back to the rest of the fam at the hotel. Thats why it was nothing short of a miracle when the signals lit up for this westbound stack train!

A Fruit Food is aptly named, since the word "Fool" is believed to have originated from the French word "fouler" which means "to mash" or "to press". And this is exactly what we do with the fruit to make this dessert. A Fruit Fool begins with making a puree from either fresh or frozen fruit.

We have already seen a lot of automotive pranks that really amuses the fans of April Fools’ Day. In this “year’s edition”, the date has been celebrated by many, including not only carmakers, but also car news websites, as you will be able to see below. Enjoy the...

Yup, as many of you figured out yesterday, the announcement about me leaving was all a prank. :)
While some of the stuff I said was true, like me being more busy these days and running a bit low on new ideas, the rest was mostly exaggeration and I still love making funnies. Just because Flickr is changing a little and some jokes aren't always a hit is no reason to leave, so don't worry, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. ;-) I will only be on vacation for a week, but after that, it's business as usual.
I hope you had a nice April Fools Day and still enjoy my work.

Fool Creek is a beautiful stream north of Burgess Junction in the northern Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. This is a beautiful place. When I was a boy, my dad brought me to fish on this creek usually a little further down from where this photo was taken. Usually I didn't fish much but collected rocks and fossils while my dad and brother fished.
Bought in Bordeaux, France. Hand tinted April Fool's day (1st April) card. Fish in photo refer to the French tradition of calling it "April Fish day" - don't know why.
um....april fools!

God, we had so much fun in this shoot. I don't think we stopped laughing once. Mick and Mallory were great. I haven't even looked at all the shots I did that day and it's been almost a year. I hate it when work interferes with real life. ;-)
Trompe-l'oeil, Fooling the Eye and other Forms of Eck Eck
Mary Magdalene
Hispano-Filipino
c. 1750-1815
Solid ivory image surrounded by a silver radiance known as a “Rafaga”.
Height of Ivory: 9 in; 13.5 in to top of crown; 17 in to top of radiance.
Overall Height w/ Base: 19.5”h.
This imposing figure is supposedly an ivory carving of the image of Mary Magdalene. But this is an intentional deception in that in this iconography, she is presented as if she were the Virgin Mary. She wears a silver crown. And her entire body is surrounded by a nimbus of light known as the “Rafaga”. At first blush, one is lead to believe that this is an image of the Virgin. And since the Rafaga is traditionally associated only with images of Christ or the Virgin, the addition of this feature was an intentional act to deceive.
According to the auction catalog, this image was formerly in the collection of a Connecticut gentleman and his wife who lived in Columbia for over a decade. This object was purchased from a friend who told him that the image was found in Cali and is reputed to have arrived at Buenaventura, Columbia from Acapulco sometime between 1665-1815.
However, a closer examination of the figure reveals the truth. This is not an image of the Virgin nor any of the Catholic saints. This is a standing image of the goddess Guan-Yin. On her right hand, she holds a rosary-like chaplet of beads but those are just Buddhist prayers beads and have no Catholic symbolism. On her left hand she is supposed to hold the “Holy Grail”. In actuality, she holds a Ruyi scepter, a ceremonial talisman in Chinese Buddhism symbolizing power and good fortune in Chinese folklore.
The dates provided are also irrelevant and misleading. The years between 1665 and 1815 span the entire period of the Manila Galleon trade. Anything and everything arrived in the New World from the East at this time! In other words, they are meaningless.
Although attributed to the Hispano-Filipino workshops, the carving style of the image is not consistent with Philippine carving of images of the Virgin or other female saints. The image wears a long robe which falls in lanky horizontal folds ending at the hem. Her toes do not peep through. She wears no mantle. The edges of the tunic are decorated with geometric designs unknown in Philippine iconography. The carving of the hair is wrong for this attribution. The eponymous “suksuk” or tuck is missing. And her lips are not painted with the trademark orange-red hue of Philippine made saints.
It’s amazing what a little bit of silver can do to fool the eye.

Fool's Bull was a veteran of Little Big Horn, and the shield seen here was made of materials he carried in that battle. This photo, by John Anderson, was probably taken on the Rosebud reservation, c. 1900.
