* 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.
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.

Whilst the adults were getting serous I went off again to fool around with the kids and practice my miserable Swahili.

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.
Well I woke up this morning to my husband's April Fool's Day joke..... and it's snowing this morning. ugh......cold...blowing....
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.

I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me about the blue, blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
And I wonder, wonder
Not sure how many of you remember a song called yellow lemon tree by Fools Garden. When I was a little kid , this was my number one song along with Run Away by real McCoy , which I listened to in loops numerous times !

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.
Mother nature just playing a little April fools joke on us today! Just about 2" of snow fell in 2 hours before it mostly turned to rain and then stopped. Maybe this is her last hurrah!!! Have a great weekend! and HFF!!!

I hope they all washed their cars after this. My camera gear needed a thorough cleaning after Sundays wet and windy weather.
