The Fools’ Fountain (Narrenbrunnen) in Kleve by the Collegiate Church. By Annette Mürdter and erected 2001. The bronze, water-spouting heads recall the once-present 'head' of society, the king, and six councilors.

perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that
never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled
look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she
never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie
i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore
it never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool
======================================
No one Can hide hem\her self by any Mask..
Because there are many obesticals that will show yout truth face..

These plants were fooled by Toronto's surprising warm spells in February. Yesterday actually set a record for February 28th). Tomorrow we expect a significant amount of snow so I wonder what will happen to these plants. They may survive the same way they survived a snowfall last week. Hardy things, these Toronto plants.
This was an April Fool's Day breakfast for Mary and Henry. These are sliced bananas slathered with creamy peanut butter and then coated in crushed graham crackers. The "fries" are pillsbury breadsticks that you cut and slice very thin, roll them in sugar and bake. The "french fry holder" is a business envelope that was sealed and then cut. The ketchup is seedless strawberry jam placed in a mini cupcake liner. Mary and Henry loved it.

Happy April Fools Day people!
Anyone play any good tricks?
I babysat my little minions today :)
We went for a bike ride and painted rocks and made a sail boat out of sticks.
Then I told them about camera remotes and they were amazed so we attempted this about a million times.
We can get a little out of hand out of hand.
But we're capable of pretending we're normal.
And at the end of the day they still love me.
I apologize for all the pictures :P

One advantage of going together on a trip with another photographers is that you can pick up a thing or two skills to add to your arsenal. This time I was schooled by some of my friends namely, Adri, Felix and Budiono about seascape. I learn about low angles, extreme composition and few other things.
This photo is taken with the camera literary few inches off the water surface. Big risk that you have to take to capture good photos. Was it fun? Yes. Will I do it again? Probably yes. Make sure that you clean your tripod afterward.
Tech stuff: 2 exposures for the waves, and 2 exposures for the skies blended together. Some contrast and color adjustment in Nik Software Color Efex Pro and Photoshop CS5
Fool's Bull was a veteran of Little Big Horn, and the shield seen here was made of materials he carried in that battle. This photo, by John Anderson, was probably taken on the Rosebud reservation, c. 1900.

While out looking for photo opportunities this morning spotted this about a hundred yards away, believing it was a hawk on a guardrail with its chest toward me. I was interested in shooting such a thing for sure and slowly approached so as not to scare it away. Talk about feeling like the village idiot. On the plus side, the pumpkin was not spooked and held its pose for me to take a pic.

It looks like the cross between a chip that has fallen out of some electronic device and a delicate piece of designer jewelry that I probably need to bring for my wife to pacify her for buggering off to Africa by myself again. Think again because it has legs and even can fly! It is a beetle in the weird and wonderful subfamily Cassidinae, popularly known as Tortoise beetles. There are many species of these small but exquisitely beautiful beetles all over the tropics.
The one we found today did not generously flaunt its beauty for all to admire but was hiding under the bark of a dead tree. It immediately played dead when we uncovered it looking even more like some small inanimate object. That at least made it fairly easy to photograph
And came the ripples as my tired flesh prevailed
Thorny recollections that tumbled and twirled within
Traversed the sea of pain and heard the doubters wail
All hope of reconciliation, replaced by sin
A pathway followed, feet tentatively placed
This lonely man with soulless eyes so blinkered, blind
Eyes so sad as footsteps traced
In every moment, face of yours I find
I broke your heart and ran amok with glee
At leisure for my selfish deeds I pay
Ensnare a heart and cage it, captive, never free
And you will rule a foolish king each day
As broken as your will, I walk this day
Tortured by your loss, my careless actions cast
Forgive me from the other side I pray
My life so sad, until you do, must last
And came the leaves upon the gentle water flowing
In their demise such beauty touched my blackened soul
As though towards a better life and knowing
The joy along the journey be your treasured goal
I sat upon the rocky banks and dipped my fingers
The crystal waters ebbed and flowed with grace
Reflections of your purity then lingered
I turned away to hide my shameful face
We breathe so few, the precious breaths, like jewels
Upon the hallowed ground that Mother Nature tends
A long time dead, our legacy of kings or fools
On fate and actions surely must depend
And I, the fool, sit humbly by the lapping waters edge
The sound of your voice within my aching head
Deceit and lies, the promises of love I'd pledged
The twisted remnants haunt me of the words I'd said
The river soothed my cold and cowardly discontent
As quietly with the moss and reedy river I did lay
Pain and guilt within, not circumvent
My chances squandered, treat contempt each day
Forgive me for my failings deep and many
Reach out a hand from water cool and touch my flesh
As here I cry, devoid of virtues, any
Please here my sorrow deep, to you, confess
.

First card in my personal muse tarot deck. The fool is innocent and child-like and does not always see the dangers that lurk. But the fool also has the faith to follow their own path - no matter where it might lead.

This year's April Fools Day menu included Spaghetti, which was only off-white yarn placed in a casserole dish (fooled my 11-year-old!); Sticks, which were corn dogs; Chips & Dip, which was carrot slices & veggie dip; Sliced Potatoes (potato chips); Fruit Juice (sliced fruit piled into our green pitcher so the contents couldn't be seen. I told the family, if you want juice, you have to squeeze your own ;o) ); and for dessert, Dog Food, which was Pops cereal and dog bone-shaped peanut butter cookies placed in a clean new dog dish.
