Guess what we woke up to today? Yes ... snow! Mother Nature's version of an April Fools' joke I suppose? Fortunately it is only a few centimetres and not as much as on this day in February. Mercifully all of this has melted and although there is snow on the ground today, the lake ice is almost gone and Spring is slowly showing its kinder, warmer, gentler face.
This is the back of our house with Nina, Rosa and Tess respectively serving as my winter models. Below is a view of my house taken from the lake ... for a variety of photos of the view from my front yard check out ...
I'm re-uploading this as i feel I didn't quite do it justice last time. personally I love this shot, all opinions gladly received!
The localizing of fools is common to most countries, and there are many other reputed imbecile centres in different countries. In the Netherlands it is (among others) the people of Kampen, were a "Kamper onion" is a name for spot and plague story in which the pretensions and stupidity of its residents are depicted.

A black and white treatment of the boiler that was used to set up a scam gold mine in northern Wisconsin at the end of the 1800s. There is plenty of iron and copper up this way, but no gold.
Off its wheels, this boiler will just rust away into nothing, just like the dream of gold that foolish investors in this scam once had.
Keeping the subject in frame can be very difficult when you are shooting a fast subject, very close, and hand holding 1200 mm. Thousandths of a second can make all the difference. Trying to predict the unpredictable is always challenging but nature photography requires, at least, a bit of this. After all is said and done, nothing replaces persistence and luck. Hence, the more you shoot, the better your chances at getting “that shot.”
Like the bald eagle, the peregrine falcon was nearly eradicated from this earth by the use of DDT. The eagle gained more notoriety, as the symbol of the USA but it was not the only bird to suffer. We are currently in the hands of an administration that sees no limits to the destruction of our wild places in the name of profit. If you support Trump but claim to be pro-nature, then you are either wearing blinders or simply fooling yourself. You’re not fooling me. #PeregrineFalcon
The big baseball at the city's diamond. . . .yard art. Greensboro, NC. . . . where the Grasshoppers play. Shot eight years ago when my husband's commitments took us there several times a year. I always enjoyed the city--it has a lot to offer. Greensboro often places high up on the lists of "best places to live".
In search of a new life and a new hope
Oh but there were some that couldn't cope
And they spent their life in search of
Fools gold...

This was shot for a production of the Sam Shepard play "Fool for Love," incorporating themes from the play and putting to use my '64 Chevy pickup.
Here is a high tech April Fools joke from Google. The end is surprising when you realize the whole thing is a joke. I was thinking while watching it that it was a great idea for the little ones in our life to have a self diving bike. It's short and worth a look click HERE
One lone hydrangea dared to bloom in January, fooled by the unseasonably warm weather, only to be frozen in its prime by the first freeze. Bayside, NYC -- 1//7/16
The challenge was to see how quickly they, a team of vintage tractor enthusiasts, could assemble an old tractor. The answer is: pretty quickly!
"Then he told them a parable: ‘There was once a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself, “What am I to do? I have not enough room to store my crops.” Then he said, “This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them, and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink, have a good time.” But God said to him, “Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?” So it is when a man stores up treasure for himself in place of making himself rich in the sight of God.’"
– Luke 12:16-21, which is part of today's Gospel at Mass.
