I was busy doing very little today :-) I woke up, did the flickr thing, watched some T.V., napped, hiked with the family, went for a drive, made Indian, played some wii with the family, and then fooled around with this photo. I am not certain if I like it or not. I am putting it out there though...

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..

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.

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.
What Fools these
mortals be!
Date: 1911
Source Type: Postcard
Printer, Publisher, Photographer: The Ullman Manufacturing Company (Series 188, #1875)
Postmark: November ?, 1911, Willola, Idaho
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: Little remains of Willola, Nez Perce County, Idaho. Today [2017], there are just a few homes in the area and several outbuildings. Willola is located along the south bank of the Clearwater River. The small community of Lenore, Idaho, situated upon the north bank of the river, is located one mile east of Willola.
A post office operated in Willola from 1889 to 1912.
The recipient of this postcard was Henry Ward Thornton of Leland, Nez Perce County, Idaho, located 5.5 miles north of Willola. Henry was born February 21, 1891, at Moscow, Latah County, Idaho, the son of Joseph Robert Thornton and Cora Della (Ellis) Thornton. Henry died on April 25, 1975, at Madras, Jefferson County, Oregon; he is buried at Mount Jefferson Memorial Park in Madras.

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.
I think I fooled around with textures a bit too much. Now I am checking myself into rehab.
A propos checking: yesterday I checked if I have any photos on explore and guess what? All of my photos were on explore. I checked a couple of times during the day and the same result. Today everything is back to normal. I am a bit ashamed it took me a day to figure out that this was the bighugelabs joke for 1st of April. At least I have a wonderful scout poster with all my photos on 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

My Shadow
by R.L.Stevenson
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow--
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
And he sometimes goes so little that there's none of him at all.
He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close behind me, he's a coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

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.
