Over the next few days I'll be posting images inspired by old Tarot decks, such as this one right here, floating on your screen for easy viewing.
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.

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.

American Fool is the fifth studio album by John Mellencamp, released under the stage name John Cougar in 1982. The album was his commercial breakthrough, holding the No. 1 position on the Billboard album chart for nine weeks.
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...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More than 130 large metal statues of animals by sculptor Ricardo Breceda can be found scattered throughout the desert of Borrego Springs, California...
Give fools their gold and knaves their power;
let fortune's bubbles rise and fall;
who sows a field or trains a flower,
or plants a tree, is more than all.
--from "A Song of Harvest" by John Greenleaf Whittier
Since I didn't have any great ideas on how to develop the theme of "Fool's Gold" in the Blythe a Day group, I did what I could with it, with this quote by John Greenleaf Whittier and a couple of props. Then I focused on this as a chance to do a comparison picture between Blythe Adores Anna Sui and Lady Camellia. Their hair is very similar in color; Anna's is a bit more purple, while Camellia's is a little more brown. The biggest difference between them is their makeup; Anna has a lot of color, while Camellia has much less. It's funny that when they are side-by-side, I like the more natural look of Lady Camellia, but in real life, I prefer Anna Sui. In fact, Anna (whom I call Zelda) is my favorite Blythe doll. Which do you prefer?
Anna's dress is by Endangered Sissy; Camellia's is the stock dress from Spright Beauty. I've never used this stock dress since I took it off SB...I think the fairy wings on the back made me think it could only be a fairy dress, but I just realized that the wings detach, and without them it looks like a perfectly nice dress for any doll.
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
We walked past this one thinking it was a model, my wife looked back at some flowers and saw it move he was quite happy to be pictured but then again he was perched above the carp pond.
I woke up this morning to the sound of sleet on my window.... This one is from a spring ice storm a few years ago. After a gorgeous sunny and almost 70 day for Easter yesterday, it seems Mother Nature knows how to do April fools day jokes, too.
Dear diary,
I’m not sure what happened after I blacked out in the sirens’ lair. When I finally awoke, I was in the arms of an angelic, mermaid princess! I thought I had died and gone to undersea heaven! She told me I was alive and not to fear. Her father, King Triton, had sent his agents to rescue me from their blood-thirsty cousins. They say I’m “the chosen one”, foretold to complete a great task… When I finally met with King Triton, however, I was handed a toolbox and plunger and then sent down to the trenches. What’s so great about that?!… I wonder if he’s mad that I touched his daughter’s clam…
Pete
For April Fool's Day, I decided to build a tribute to my favorite fool from Bart's "Clumsy Pete" series.
Vignette 15/52 - "8x8x52 Project"
My goal is to build at least one 8x8 base vignette per week, for a consecutive 52 weeks. This is build 15 of 52.
As an April Fool, Scout says that all of my photos have been in Explore! This is the first 72 of them made into a poster. Have a
look at Scout yourself - I think you'll find that just for today all of
your photos have been in Explore too!

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.
“When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.” ~ Cynthia Heimel
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
"But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms…"

"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.
Stained glass detail from the Sainte Chapelle in Paris.
Walking on Bribe Island (Queensland) beach, I found what tried to convince me it was gold. It was misleading.
Some of what says is gold is really fool's gold and does not lead to wellbeing or health.
