Fu allora che vissi l’effetto luna piena. L’avevo chiamato così. Mi sentivo come una grande luna che continua a crescere piano piano, notte dopo notte, per arrivare allo stadio completo, luminosissimo, in cui niente manca, niente è di troppo…
Nella vita di tutti noi c’è una luna piena.
Se soltanto sapessimo riconoscerla per godercela almeno un po’, per sentirci diafani e realizzati.
Marcela Serrano
Eh già.. e non è forse così? :)
Qui in foto una bella luna piena, la cui luce ho raccolto in 1/250 di secondo..

Awa Odori, also known as ‘the dance of fools’, comes from Tokushima Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. “Awa” is the name of the feudal province which later became Tokushima and 'Odori' mean dance.
According to tradition, Awa Odori originated in the 16th century after drunken revellers took to dancing in the streets of Tokushima in celebration of the completion of Tokushima Castle.
While there is no firm evidence to support this, the exuberant, often frenzied nature of the dance is in keeping with the story’s theme of drunken revelry. Traditional lyrics to the music used for Awa Odori translate to “The dancers are fools and the watchers are fools; if both are fools, you may as well dance”.
Although its home is obviously Tokushima (its Awa Odori is one of the biggest street dance festivals in the world, attracting around 1.5m spectators annually), other major Awa Odori include those held in Koenji in Tokyo (which now almost rivals that in Tokushima for size) and in Minami-Koshigya in Saitama prefecture, photographed here.
Although much smaller than its cousins in Tokushima and Koenji, it still attracts around 800,000 spectators...
This is the second of these I've seen, and both times I thought it was another species entirely, because that species is what I expect to find next to my door. The first time I didn't know about these at all to expect them. My only excuse this time was that the other time was two years ago.
This is a male to go with the female I just posted. Oddly, I never see females in my yard, but I found both males right by my door. You will notice he doesn't have the characteristic "arrowhead" marking that she does, but he does have an unusual spur on his second pair of legs. I wish I could tell you what that's for, but I wasn't able to find any information about it. Jciv and I decided last time that it must be for holding onto a female, since the females don't have them.

The Laughing Fool, at Davis Museum, Wellesley College, is in the public domain, its origin uncertain. It is thought to be from the early 1500’s by Dutch artist Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen. I combined the image with my own photographs and textures for the “We’re Here!” group of the day Jesters, Jokers and Fools.

Shot at sunrise from ground level. A small piece of driftwood is on the right. The dune look alike on the left is actually a footprint in the sand, only yards away from the foreground, but the hills in the background are miles in the distance.
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 .

Ok. so I'm a fool for gold, like poppies on a spring day in the foothills of the Sierra. This was from 2019 when sufficient moisture brought spring formal wear out. This year is a no-show due to drought, and I'm already missing the opportunities, so indulge me in a little reminiscence.
Thanks for visiting.

The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS₂. Pyrite is the most abundant sulfide mineral. Pyrite's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold.
