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! 😉

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
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..

“Well, everybody is somebody’s fool. The only way to stay out of trouble is to grow old, so I guess I’ll concentrate on that. Maybe I’ll live so long that I’ll forget her. Maybe I’ll die trying.”
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.
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...
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.

You told me that you'd stay with me
And shelter to me forever
That was a hard promise to keep
...I can't blame you for the bad weather
After all that had been said and done
I won't ask you where're you going
Don't keep in touch, I don't miss you much
Except sometime early in the morning
Now use your silver tongue once more
There's one thing that I'd like to know
Did you ever believe the lies that you told?
Did you earn the food's gold that you gave me?
I forgive you wanting to be free
I realise you long to wander
And I sympathize your roving eyes
I just can't forget your bad manners
Did you ever believe the lies that you told?
Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave me?

Many thanks to everyone for your visits, comments and faves! Very much appreciated!
Some folks think of happiness,
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess ...
They're not foolin' me.

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.

Fooled ya! This was actually taken in nearby Antelope Canyon on the Navajo Reservation. It's a red sandstone slot canyon where you can generally touch both sides as you walk along the bottom. This is looking straight up about 100 feet towards the surface just after mid-day.
We're back home again after 15 days, 9 states, 4,107 miles, and 1,483 photo's. It was great to explore the Southwest, but It's also nice to be back home again.

Just like we used to play in our childhood ;)

Shot at sunrise from ground level. A small piece of driftwood is on the right. The dune look alike on the left is actually a footprint in the sand, only yards away from the foreground, but the hills in the background are miles in the distance.
"Parecía que las respuestas eran fáciles de encontrar
“Demasiado tarde”, gritan los profetas
La isla se están hundiendo, vayamos al cielo
Llamó al hombre tonto, despojado de su orgullo
Todos estaban riendo hasta el día que murió"

On I-75 heading home and came upon this UHaul with cleverly painted rear cargo door. I certainly thought the back was open until came side by side. Nice optical illusion advertising.
