"April Fools"

Here is me fooling around in the empty windy beach!

I know my cartwheel is so imperfect but it was ages since I did it last time…

 

And yesterday I said: I try, I’ll probably crash down…

Luckily I finished on my feet!

 

Lassie and Candy were a bit surprised…

 

Then I made even them exercise, jumping a rope (you have already seen it in my shots!)

 

And the last part is me writing in the sand in a normal way and in the da Vinci way, even him used to write from right to left…

 

The voices are mine and of one of my clones, a still young one, I made her some years ago, but she’s helpfull sometimes, just like to do this vid..

 

Have a fool day my friends!

 

another great show from Seattle Flow Arts. find them if you can and check them out.

I had to look twice, I thought this was a real person. But no, just a manikin.

"Oooh, do we not sail on the ship of fools

Oooh, why is life so precious and so cruel…"

Fools in love, well are there any other kinds of lovers?

Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?

 

Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?

Fools in love, never knowing when they've lost the game

 

Fools in love, gently hold each others hands forever

Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb

   

“Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet.”

 

- African Proverb

“Fool's Gold” is technically known as pyrite or iron sulfide (FeS2) and is one of the most common sulfide minerals. Sulfide minerals are a group of inorganic compounds containing sulfur and one or more elements. ... Pyrite is called “Fool's Gold” because it resembles gold to the untrained eye.

A "fool" is an English dessert. Traditionally, fruit fool is made by folding puréed stewed fruit (classically gooseberries) into sweet custard or whipped cream.

 

A Fruit Fool is aptly named, since the word "Fool" is believed to have originated from the French word "fouler" which means "to mash" or "to press". And this is exactly what we do with the fruit to make this dessert. A Fruit Fool begins with making a puree from either fresh or frozen fruit.

 

Perhaps I was a fool to try a new dessert just for a photo prompt but it was very yummy! 😉

Proverbs 1:22 “How long, O naive ones, will you love simplicity? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?”

 

“There is no greater evil one can suffer than to hate reasonable discourse.” – Socrates

 

What happens when reasonable discourse is censored by an increasingly authoritarian system? During Covid, they said, “Follow the science.” Yet, as with climate change, a person can only have one side to the story. Nowadays, some scientists are even afraid to define a biological woman. Have we gone from science to cult? What about communist-style hate-speech laws for “misgendering” someone?

 

Does censorship encourage or stifle reasonable discourse? Does censorship encourage or stifle free thinking? Does censorship encourage or stifle critical thinking? Does censorship encourage or stifle freedom of speech? Does censorship encourage or stifle freedom?

  

This past Saturday I left Miami in the morning and started a mini-road trip to Chicago for my move with my new airline I'll be working for. I had a few stops planned along the way with a stops in Nashville & Louisville to see some friends, what I didn't expect was this. I had no buffing planned except for the Lucas Oil Railroad - that will come soon.

 

Saturday I got to Nashville late, woke up around 9am Sunday, and checked my phone and found a text from a friend saying CSX 4568 is heading to Nashville on I14105, nothing more, so I did some quick research of an area I had no idea about and determined it was the Mainline Sub and I did some asking to some friends back home with good source technology and was able to determine a location.

 

I scrambled to leave the hotel and made my way to Franklin, KY, while I was hoping to get a shot with the intown Feed Elevator, I140 was coming north so the sun turned before I could, so I settle for a little side road just on the outskirts of town and this was the result after waiting about 2 hours of sitting around and watching I140 come through.

 

Seen is CSX I14105 running through Franklin, KY with CSXT 4568 (OLS) about to knock down the 134.9 Intermediate Signal after rolling through town.

 

To quote my good friend Tolga "you have some fucking good luck buffing" my reply “I just take pictures”.

I made an adjustment in regards to caffeine. Folgers decaf was about the only kind the stores offered in this area.

 

Nasty stuff! So I complained to my son and a package containing two kinds of decaf showed up from my son's girlfriend.

 

What a wonderful surprise!

 

Fu allora che vissi l’effetto luna piena. L’avevo chiamato così. Mi sentivo come una grande luna che continua a crescere piano piano, notte dopo notte, per arrivare allo stadio completo, luminosissimo, in cui niente manca, niente è di troppo…

Nella vita di tutti noi c’è una luna piena.

Se soltanto sapessimo riconoscerla per godercela almeno un po’, per sentirci diafani e realizzati.

Eh già.. e non è forse così? :)

 

Qui in foto una bella luna piena, la cui luce ho raccolto in 1/250 di secondo..

As I drove along the wetlands in Alviso, I saw this off to the side and thought to my self "That's kind of a strange looking duck".

 

So I whipped my Jeep off the road and parked, loaded my long lens, got out and started sneaking up on him, shooting as I went along, hoping to get a good shot, but not wanting to scare him off.

 

I finally realized that he wasn't moving. DOH! Decoy got me.

Here.

 

I took this about a month ago, before winter really set in.

There's something eerie about this field, I'm just not sure what it is.

Every time I shoot here, I feel anxious and leave as soon as possible, for no particular reason.

 

I'll write more later?

We'll see. I'm way too exhausted to think of anything right now.

This stunning nautical tattoo from THIS IS WRONG is available NOW @ ROMP.

 

And, I don't usually add song links, but this tattoo gives me the chance to add a song from a band I grew up listening too ♥

Pyrite - reflected

It's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. Borrowed from my 13yo sons collection

Awa Odori, also known as ‘the dance of fools’, comes from Tokushima Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. “Awa” is the name of the feudal province which later became Tokushima and 'Odori' mean dance.

 

According to tradition, Awa Odori originated in the 16th century after drunken revellers took to dancing in the streets of Tokushima in celebration of the completion of Tokushima Castle.

 

While there is no firm evidence to support this, the exuberant, often frenzied nature of the dance is in keeping with the story’s theme of drunken revelry. Traditional lyrics to the music used for Awa Odori translate to “The dancers are fools and the watchers are fools; if both are fools, you may as well dance”.

 

Although its home is obviously Tokushima (its Awa Odori is one of the biggest street dance festivals in the world, attracting around 1.5m spectators annually), other major Awa Odori include those held in Koenji in Tokyo (which now almost rivals that in Tokushima for size) and in Minami-Koshigya in Saitama prefecture, photographed here.

 

Although much smaller than its cousins in Tokushima and Koenji, it still attracts around 800,000 spectators...

Getting ready to fool someone

This is the second of these I've seen, and both times I thought it was another species entirely, because that species is what I expect to find next to my door. The first time I didn't know about these at all to expect them. My only excuse this time was that the other time was two years ago.

 

This is a male to go with the female I just posted. Oddly, I never see females in my yard, but I found both males right by my door. You will notice he doesn't have the characteristic "arrowhead" marking that she does, but he does have an unusual spur on his second pair of legs. I wish I could tell you what that's for, but I wasn't able to find any information about it. Jciv and I decided last time that it must be for holding onto a female, since the females don't have them.

The Laughing Fool, at Davis Museum, Wellesley College, is in the public domain, its origin uncertain. It is thought to be from the early 1500’s by Dutch artist Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen. I combined the image with my own photographs and textures for the “We’re Here!” group of the day Jesters, Jokers and Fools.
