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!
This is another picture from yesterday’s snow (April Fools’ Day). It was taken in Big Meadow, in Yosemite; there is a small housing area there. When I come down here to photograph; one of the halfwits involved in Community Stalking starts firing a shotgun, into the air. This is still part of Yosemite National Park and hunting is not allowed. This is one of the many tactics used in Yosemite to try and intimidate me (I’m not intimidated). I titled this (Many Fools) because Yosemite and many communities are plagued with many fools involved in Community Based Stalking, Gang Stalking and Workplace Mobbing.
It’s hard to believe that people can be that cruel. In fact, they can and are often so cruel (The Bully at Work; Gary Namie, PhD & Ruth Namie, PhD). This is an excellent book if you’re a Target. You can contact any FBI office in America; they will tell you Gang Stalking exists, but will not do anything about it, except try to blame the victim.

Please help us bring awareness and stop Gang Stalking, Community Based Stalking and Workplace Mobbing. We are trying to make these changes one community at a time. So, here is a contact page for Yosemite National Park: www.nps.gov/yose/contacts.htm. Once on this page; click ask a question or make a comment. This is your National Park please take the time to contact them; tell them to put a stop to Gang Stalking, Community Based Stalking and Workplace Mobbing.
These immoral acts are allowed in Yosemite National Park by Law Enforcement and its Contractors. Thank you for taking the time to visit my photostream.
An April Fool postcard addressed on the other side to Mrs. Matilda Loerke, Kewaskum, Wis., R.R. No. 2, and postmarked in Lomira, Wisconsin, on March 31, 1910. The space for the message on the verso is completely blank.

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...

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".
Harrowing, traumatising, distressing and depressing aftermaths of an unnecessary war caused by just "one shortsighted man, lacking in insight, understand and wisdom" followed by a handful of Oligarchs with more cents than sense
Tyrants seem to be bullet proof! untouchable, invulnerable, indestructible! yet the good die young: Jesus Christ, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Pope John Paul II survived a knife attack etc not to mention soft targets like our children and young girls raped and killed by human beasts etc
Putin has managed to cultivate a macho man image creating an aura of awe that fooled the Russian public and the world at large; leaders of China, India and Israel all seem to have manage to impress upon their people that they can be trusted and "worshipped"! in other words, all four are con-artists good at lying and deceiving everyone
We tend to judge a book by its cover and don’t bother opening it to find out what’s in it

DONALD
Who Played with a Dangerous Toy,
and Suffered a Catastrophe of Considerable Dimensions
(Apologies, profuse and profound, to Hilaire Belloc
whose immortal words are used here
in a context he never intended for them.)
*****
When Donald's Chief of Staff was told
That Don had been as good as gold,
He promised in the afternoon
To buy him an Immense BALLOON.
And so he did; but when it came,
It got into the candle flame,
And being of a dangerous sort
Exploded with a loud report!
The lights went out! The windows broke!
The Oval Office filled with smoke.
And in the darkness shrieks and yells
Were mingled with electric bells,
And falling masonry and groans,
And crunching, as of broken bones,
And dreadful shrieks, when, worst of all,
The White House then began to fall!
It shook, as older houses do,
Before it met its Waterloo
In Pennsylvania Avenue.
When help arrived, among the dead
Were fair Ivanka, and Jared,
The T-Men (both of them), the fools
Who guard the money laundry tools,
Poor Stormy, the new “Upstairs Maid”,
And I am dreadfully afraid
That Signore Boy-ar-Dee, the Chef,
Has lost his cousin, Little Chef.
Melania has come up lame,
While Don, who won’t accept blame,
Receives, as everybody knows,
Kudos everywhere he goes.
Moral:
The moral is that little boys
Should play with more expensive toys.
the king of arizona mine was known for its gold and silver deposits during the gold rush days, it now lies within the kofa national wildlife refuge and is still known for its golden shine
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
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.
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

"Unit 9S"
"Yes, POD 042?"
"You look different"
9S sighed for a moment longer as he looked ahead. "The bead is a new touch. The hair coloring..I've had to adapt. I know so too did 2B and A2 and a few others."
And truthfully, that is the nature of life itself, adapt and survive. We'll see how long this lesson sticks with me. - Nines, "Joker",et al.
A pair of Western Grebes engage in a courtship dance known as "Rushing" on Lake Hodges near San Diego,it`s really to early in the year to have to much luck seeing this but there were quite a few pairs either ahead of the game or just practicing.
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.
