Guess I am just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see
There's nothing left for me to do.

Delivered some furniture I had restored back to a customer today. In the reception area was this Reliant Regal Supervan. It is the very one used on Only Fools and Horses. It was used in the famous Batman and Robin episode among others.
Whilst the adults were getting serous I went off again to fool around with the kids and practice my miserable Swahili.
Here come I, old April fool,
Between March hare and nuts in May.
Fool me forward, fool me back,
Hares will dance and nuts will crack.
Here come I, my fingers crossed
Between the shuffle and the deal.
Fool me flush or fool me straight,
Queens are wild and queens will wait.
Here come I, my clogs worn out
Between the burden and the song.
Fool me hither, fool me hence,
Keep the sound but ditch the sense.
Here come I, my hair on fire,
Between the devil and the deep.
Fool me over, fool me down,
Sea shall dry and devil shall drown.
Here come I, in guts and brass,
Between the raven and the pit.
Fool me under, fool me flat,
Coffins land on Ararat.
Here come I, old April Fool,
Between the hoar frost and the fall.
Fool me drunk or fool me dry,
Spring comes back, and back come I.

Était en HDR, mais avait l'air artificiel. J'ai préféré faire un traitement simple et plus naturel.
Was in HDR but looked weird. I've switched back to a more natural treatment.

Not Batman here to save you but a Vampire! Perhaps he will save you, for later!
Added to July 2013's Scavenger Hunt as #3 "Character" for not only is he portraying one, but he is one himself.
a moment of utter shock when it said 1400 photos in Explore...then the lightbulb flashed on - it's April Fool's Day! whew!

This is a summer dessert I've been wanting to make since last summer but had to wait for rhubarbs to be back in season. Fools are basically sweetened tart fruit mixed with cream, my favorite combination. A week ago I bought a bunch of gorgeous bright red stalks of rhubarb intending to make this very thing. As I sliced away at the stalks I remembered there were a few strawberries that were withering away in the refrigerator. They weren't so far gone as to be fuzzy so I sliced them up and added them to the rhubarb and sugar bubbling away.
This lovely mixture sat in my refrigerator chilling until this weekend, when I bought a pint of cream. In went some sugar and a few drops of vanilla extract. I beat until both arms were tired and then stirred in the lusciousness. I love British desserts.
Chopped rhubarb
Chopped strawberries
Sugar
Cook the vegetable/fruit with sugar until softened. Let cool.
Heavy cream
Sugar
Vanilla extract
Pour some chilled cream in a chilled bowl with a chilled wire whisk. Add some sugar to taste and a few drops of vanilla extract. Beat until stiff.
Fold the fruit mixture into the cream. In a glass bowl, layer the cream and the fruit mixture to resemble a parfait. Top with extra fruit. Garnish with some chopped pistachios or hazelnuts and sprigs of mint if you like.
The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.
~Samuel Butler, Notebooks, 1912
This little boxer mix is the epitome of a boxer, just without the typical nose. He is so goofy and lovable. He is happiest when surrounded by a yard full of children, and is a joy to everyone he meets. I am so glad we found him at our local shelter because he has turned out to be so smart, lovable, friendly to other dogs and people, yet at home is always on guard especially around all the kids. Zeke is our little gem we found and we definitely make fools of ourselves with him.
After many, many months of having lightroom sitting on my desk, I have finally installed it and started playing around with it. It is SO different from elements but it is very fun learning and I am enjoying it. Here is some sliding LR style. I usually focus on the eye but I love the texture of his nose.
HSS everyone!
GOLD is the Topic for Thursday the 7th of April 2011

* Ship of Fools (1965): Stanley Kramer now steers the camera for real as the director in addition to being producer, and he steers a cruise liner full of a cross-section of society across the Atlantic toward 1933 Germany. Written by Abby Mann (Judgment at Nuremberg) from a novel by Katherine Anne Porter, Ship of Fools is a series of interlocked vignettes that travel the decks of the boat, showing the different levels of society, dissecting an international cast of characters. An Austrian anti-Semite philanderer (Jose Ferrer) rubs elbows with a deposed Spanish contessa (Simone Signoret), an alcoholic ex-baseball player (Lee Marvin), an idealistic but naïve painter (George Segal), a lonely middle-aged woman (Vivien Leigh), and many others. Each has their own shortcomings, usually enflamed by their shortsightedness, and putting them together, trapping them in one space for a specific period of time, only serves to call more attention to what ails them. Only two people are conscious of the humanity around them. The ship's doctor (Oskar Werner) is aware of the failings of others, and it makes him despair of his inability to exact change, causing him to pay the ultimate price. With him is the dwarf (Michael Dunn), the narrator who speaks to the audience on either side of the cruise. Being below most people's sight lines gives him a unique perspective, and the film being made in 1965 also allows Stanley Kramer to imbue the story with a sense of prescience for what is to come. The human tragedy that is only years away plays out on the ship. All the bad ideas, all of the selfishness, and all of the denial is right there for our viewing pleasure, and most of us may be disheartened to find ourselves somewhere in the population of the Ship of Fools. It may feel a little tidy or preachy today, but its truth holds strong.

3/52 for the group 2015 Weekly Alphabet Challenge
This week's theme was: C is for Crystal
As I'm married to a geologist, we do have some interesting crystals around but due to lack of time I had to grab the handiest specimen which is a lump of slate with one surface covered in iron pyrites (fool's gold).
For some reason this shot didn't come out very golden looking, but it does show the cubic shape of the crystals quite nicely.

This is my first idea for Macro Mondays - the fool's gold theme.
I don't own any gold (real or fake), but to me (and I'm sure to many others too), fool's gold can be anything that is expected to be great but ends up disappointing in the end...
I always store copies of my tax returns in these golden yellow envelopes... and tax returns to me are a fantastic example of hoping for too much and coming up short each April!
