Ok. so I'm a fool for gold, like poppies on a spring day in the foothills of the Sierra. This was from 2019 when sufficient moisture brought spring formal wear out. This year is a no-show due to drought, and I'm already missing the opportunities, so indulge me in a little reminiscence.
Thanks for visiting.

The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS₂. Pyrite is the most abundant sulfide mineral. Pyrite's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold.

Ok Flickr, seriously? Every day something new breaks. This site is becoming unusable. Two words: Change Control.
Anyway, if I can survive this new Flickr gauntlet, there's some landscape stuff on the horizon - no pun intended. I've had a 50mm Zeiss T/S franken-lens for two years and never made a photograph with it before today. It was nice to get out and enjoy the solitude of this kind of shooting, in spite of a few mishaps and sub-freezing temps...

My first EVER explored Photo! Thank you all!
If there is truth in the old adage, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” where does that leave the team of Hendricks and Patchett?
We have been deliberately trying to fool people with our photographic sleight of hand for almost three years now. If you are still being fooled by this wizardry, then shame on you. (wink wink)
There is an irresistible duality to the visual trickery going on in this image. We hope you find it interesting.
This is a double forced perspective photograph of die-cast model cars, real cars and a real hand in front of a real background.

“When you’re one step ahead of the crowd you’re a genius. When you’re two steps ahead, you’re a crackpot.”
Shlomo Riskin.
People always ask "Who is the fool?" but they never ask "How is the fool?"
Chaoticticklutz3633.
"The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life."
Confucius.
The Fool is one of the most dangerous archetypes. They are socially in tune, able to read the room and their audience. Masters of self deprecation, and also able to change the tone of any situation with their wit, they also have hidden ambitions and desires. Beneath the mask of the fool could be hidden anything from fatigue to utmost contempt. The Fool who wields the blade will surprise their victim the most.
I didn't get around to submitting anything to the photo5 but at least Max had some fun with the paper glasses.

I get lost in your beauty
And I can't see
Two feet in front of me"...

This couple decided it would be great fun to dance around in the fountains outside ‘The Library of Birmingham’. Although they weren’t actually posing for me one of them saw me with my camera and looked at me as the flash fired giving me eye contact. They probably ended up with wet feet…..!

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 wee fawn was hungry and evidently thought this young buck was his mother. Lesson learned as the buck soon chased him away. The fawn fortunately did find his mother soon after. Was amusing to watch.
Not a great shot as I wasn't ready for the fawn to do this.
However it is something unusual.
Something different for April Fool's Day.
Have a great weekend, hopefully without too many tricks.
