The waxing gibbous moon in the constellation Cancer (the Crab) photographed at 9:37PM PDT on April 1, 2012 using a Sony NEX-5N camera and an Astro-Tech AT72ED telescope (ISO 100, 1/25 second, prime focus + 2X barlow or approximately 860mm effective focal length at f/12).

 

This capture also used a Baader Planetarium Semi-APO filter which requires an approximate 2/3 stop increase in exposure from an unfiltered setup.

Another safe morning is Fool's Anchorage. Santa Barbara, California.

Weak late afternoon sun just manages to produce a soft glint of the boiler of 4-6-2 RM1175 as it rolls into Jiamusi with Train 518 ex Shuangyashan on 1 April 1988.

 

V200_2_626

by JEROME BOSCH aka "el bosco". painted around 1490/1500

 

This painting talks about all the fools we are. The owners of power, and the mass.

In this canva , they are all in a boat...trying to get all what the world offer to them, all the tentation from this age. There are people from the church, who were rulers of the " moral,cultural knowledge". They are consuming wine, food, there is an allegory of luxury in the guitar (they couldn t draw dick at this age...), naked people wanting to be part of the orgy.

In our interpretation, we just made an update, changing these icones by the one binded to our age, changing the guitar in a dick, the wine in rhum, the food in cashmoney, the bread in a burger, and we obviously added some drugs...hope u'll enjoy it fools!!!

Mary Magdalene

Hispano-Filipino

c. 1750-1815

Solid ivory image surrounded by a silver radiance known as a “Rafaga”.

Height of Ivory: 9 in; 13.5 in to top of crown; 17 in to top of radiance.

Overall Height w/ Base: 19.5”h.

 

This imposing figure is supposedly an ivory carving of the image of Mary Magdalene. But this is an intentional deception in that in this iconography, she is presented as if she were the Virgin Mary. She wears a silver crown. And her entire body is surrounded by a nimbus of light known as the “Rafaga”. At first blush, one is lead to believe that this is an image of the Virgin. And since the Rafaga is traditionally associated only with images of Christ or the Virgin, the addition of this feature was an intentional act to deceive.

 

According to the auction catalog, this image was formerly in the collection of a Connecticut gentleman and his wife who lived in Columbia for over a decade. This object was purchased from a friend who told him that the image was found in Cali and is reputed to have arrived at Buenaventura, Columbia from Acapulco sometime between 1665-1815.

 

However, a closer examination of the figure reveals the truth. This is not an image of the Virgin nor any of the Catholic saints. This is a standing image of the goddess Guan-Yin. On her right hand, she holds a rosary-like chaplet of beads but those are just Buddhist prayers beads and have no Catholic symbolism. On her left hand she is supposed to hold the “Holy Grail”. In actuality, she holds a Ruyi scepter, a ceremonial talisman in Chinese Buddhism symbolizing power and good fortune in Chinese folklore.

 

The dates provided are also irrelevant and misleading. The years between 1665 and 1815 span the entire period of the Manila Galleon trade. Anything and everything arrived in the New World from the East at this time! In other words, they are meaningless.

 

Although attributed to the Hispano-Filipino workshops, the carving style of the image is not consistent with Philippine carving of images of the Virgin or other female saints. The image wears a long robe which falls in lanky horizontal folds ending at the hem. Her toes do not peep through. She wears no mantle. The edges of the tunic are decorated with geometric designs unknown in Philippine iconography. The carving of the hair is wrong for this attribution. The eponymous “suksuk” or tuck is missing. And her lips are not painted with the trademark orange-red hue of Philippine made saints.

 

It’s amazing what a little bit of silver can do to fool the eye.

  

"Make no mistake about it: if any one of you thinks of himself as wise, in the ordinary sense of the word, then he must learn to be a fool before he really can be wise. Why? Because the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As scripture says: The Lord knows wise men’s thoughts: he knows how useless they are; or again: God is not convinced by the arguments of the wise. So there is nothing to boast about in anything human: Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life and death, the present and the future, are all your servants; but you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God."

– 1 Cor 3:17-23, which is part of today's 2nd reading at Mass.

He said, “One life on this earth is all that we get, whether it is enough or not enough, and the obvious conclusion would seem to be that at the very least we are fools if we do not live it as fully and bravely and beautifully as we can. “ -F.B. ✖️ You are here. Bells made from Colorado poppy pods. My favorite flower. My favorite series. A perfect combination of delicate and strong. Time for a bath.

We had a wonderful afternoon just having a girly picnic and walking around. I also took the majority of my photos on film, so hopefully they go alright. And I wish I could've made this longer and more smooth but my digital, for some odd reason, didn't want to do continuous shooting.

  

23 days after April fool's day, mother nature lays another joke on us! 4 inches of snow this late in April??!!! Come on! Where is our spring?! However I can't deny that it was very pretty! (trying to make some lemonade here!!! :) I'm glad I took a few shots before work today. On my way back home, it was all history!

I took several shots of Big Girl standing on her head, but this is the one I like best. It makes me feel like a super hero getting ready to go solve national depression.

Blythe Physical Challenge #25 - April Fool

 

At the minimarket, Edna found some money on the ground.

 

Edna doesn't realise the notes are actually paper napkins! No good for paying for stuff but perfectly good for blowing your nose in.

 

Audrey, Daphne and some random lady look on. Audrey and Daphne are having a good giggle.

 

We left the fake money dotted around and retired to the car. It was funny to see peoples' reactions when they see 'money' on the floor. Not a single person picked it up but we got lots of double takes!

Macro Mondays, Theme - I Fooled You!

 

I am a huge fan of The Office (mainly the older episodes) and one of my favorite things about the show is the Jim and Dwight pranks. I laughed pretty hard the first time I saw the jello prank and I thought it would be cool to try it myself for this weeks theme. This is a mini blue stapler in lemon jello. This was my second attempt, the jello broke apart on the first attempt.

A fool’s errand is a task or activity that has no hope of success. A fool is a person who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person or a jester or clown, especially one retained in a royal or noble household.

 

Isot Maddrell wasn’t entirely sure if it was just her or if everybody got treated like this. She was fresh out of school and had only had a few small jobs but it seemed to happen every time.

 

When she was working part time at the pizzeria her boss would send her to the fridge to look for things that didn’t exist, like the dough repair kit, then burst out laughing when she’d come back empty handed. When her dad managed to wangle her a junior role in a very well known Michelin starred restaurant the head chef there delighted in asking her to fetch the souffle pump. In all fairness Isot was a hard worker and was really just trying to be helpful but her bosses always left her feeling like she was the butt of the joke.

 

That was until the day she decided that working for other people was just another form of indentured servitude. She is now a famous international artist known for her many idiosnycratic works such as Glass Hammer (2011), Can of Steam (2012), Dough repair kit (2012), tin of tartan paint (2013), sound powered phone batteries (2016) and Brick bender (2015). ‘Who’s the fool now?’ Isot chuckles to herself as she spends yet another weekend in San Tropez…
