Travelling Fool

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.

No fingers were hurt in the making of this image. Sometimes you just can't believe everything you see.
Happy Macro Monday!
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!
Please stop fooling around. Help me with the heap!
For #MacroMondays and this week's theme #Candy.
Happy Macro Monday!

After my friend Hanna fooled me with some cookies that looked like round pieces of sausage. I told here these were meatballs but they are peanut butter snack bites.
The Skin Fair opens in less than a week {March 11} and the designers have been busy getting their glamour in order! This beautiful skin by alaskametro is hand painted with photo sourced elements. The skin was optimized for mesh bodies and heads but can also be.....

"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)."

Taken on the morning of April the 1st.After seeing Brad Eadie's recent upload from the Quiraing I thought as it is more on my doorstep, than his. I should make the effort to get a sunrise picture of that tree at the Quiraing. Because of the Pandemic Lockdown, I was alone on the hillside having the luxury to plant my tripod feet wherever I wanted.Brad's image has the advantage of clouds, this no only adds interest to the sky but diffuses and saturates the light falling on the land.
I have wanted to make an illustration for my favorite song for a long time, but I only got to it now ..

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.
Ch:

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
I know it's April Fools Day but this is a real photo of a real sign in a real store window in Manhattan's Meat Packing District, NYC, photographed with my Olympus E-M1.
This photo has been in Explore on April 1, 2023. Highest position = #195. This is my 193rd photo in Explore.
Another image of the Mersey Gateway Bridge from my recent wanderings around Spike Island in Widnes. Apparently the Stone Roses played an historic gig here over 30 years ago following the release of Fool's Gold, with an audience of over 27,000 people.

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"

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… ;-)

14:52 April Fools
Mother Nature played an April fools joke on us....one day it’s +12 and the patio gets cleaned & set up for spring/summer....the next day it’s -2 with 6” of fresh snow !!!
Another reprocessed image - this one tweaked for more realistic tones and a bit of grain reduction treatment.
In the frame is ETH-fitted Peak no. 45136 heading a rake of Mk1s and the 8.15am Birmingham - Plymouth (1V62) along the sea-wall at Dawlish. It's early Spring and out-of-season so there aren't too many folk around - hardly surprising really given it was pretty bracing and prone to showers that day. But at least the sea, so often a problem along this stretch, was more or less behaving itself.
I was surprised at the extra detail the rework has brought out, not least the ability to read 'The Seacrest' cafe name on the far side of the roundabout. Seems like the Nikkor lens and CT18 combo didn't do so badly. I had a couple of telephotos at the time, a 200mm F4 and a 105mm F2.5, and I'm guessing this was taken with the latter.
I notice what looks to be an Austin Cambridge, Rover 2000, and a Jaguar parked up at the various seafront establishments on Marine Parade - perhaps proof that such places made for profitable undertakings back then?!
I know it's a pretty standard view from the cliff-path but I figured the vintage added a little interest. Best viewed full-screen.
Thanks to 'The Gang of 3' for train info.
