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.

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
Please stop fooling around. Help me with the heap!

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)."

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.

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 !
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

Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
but now I know
she
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Without the mask
Where will you hide?
Can't find yourself
Lost in your lies
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
(this is not a "personal" message or something, it just came out - ce n'est pas un message "personnel" ou quoique ce soit, c'est juste sorti comme ça)
Tomorrow is April's Fool Day so listen to Mr Horse here and have some fun :)
Cheers everyone.

Pier diving. I left my camera behind, when some locals were diving off the pier in some fantastic light. Luckily, like most these days I had my mobile phone at hand.

Don’t let the nice weather #Fool you…
It is not exactly a summer day at the beach yet…
Water temperature is around 39F, winds are blowing making the air temp feel cool, and the lake is choppy with waves…
But it is a good day for a walk…
It seems the gulls think so too… ;-)
