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 wee fawn was hungry and evidently thought this young buck was his mother. Lesson learned as the buck soon chased him away. The fawn fortunately did find his mother soon after. Was amusing to watch.
Not a great shot as I wasn't ready for the fawn to do this.
However it is something unusual.
Something different for April Fool's Day.
Have a great weekend, hopefully without too many tricks.
"Beautiful little fools
That’s what us girls are destined for
Beautiful little fools
Born to be adored
Where is the feminine race?
Where are these so-called independent women?
Who pick up their flaws
And let the world in
Where are these girls?"

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is an annual custom on 1 April consisting of practical jokes and hoaxes. Jokesters often expose their actions by shouting "April Fools!" at the recipient. In 2023 it's the day when daylight saving ends in New Zealand.

This is one I've reworked, not being satisfied with the earlier version.
#CSX5474 [ES40DC] throttles up through the crossovers at Control Point HARDY on a lengthy 227-car Q45331. The two General Electric locomotives are running in conventional style, due to the non-DP capable lead locomotive.
The train is comprised of a moderate sized block of Hialeah-bound manifest, and significantly larger blocks of empty limerock hoppers for CEMEX Krome Quarry and Vulcan Florida Rock.

To create the next page I need 7 embellished strips of paper, 4 cm x 19 cm. They didn't seem so large and so I thought, this is going to be a quick page. Ha, leave it to me to make it time consuming. This strip has 4 rows of chainstitch, 78 bullion knots of 25 wraps and a piece of lucet cord, of course all done in wool.

This old gold mine was worked up to about 20 years ago-the miner was well known in the Searchlight,NV. area.He scavenged equipment from shuttered mines in the area to build this one.He was convinced that their was a fortune on this hillside,and did mange to find a little producing ore.But the main thing he mined from the area is not all dreams become reality,and finally abandoned it after falling into the shaft and breaking a leg.He wasn't found for two days,but survived....
I Title this one after my favorite Stone Roses track. I entered this field with shorts on and I was mullered by insects! This after I had done this a few weeks before and vowed never again! So foolish it may have been, but worth it all the same
If you're on 500px or facebook I have more work over there and feel free to add me :)
