April Photo Challenge. Discussion.

[anivid]

Gin & Tonic, Gagged & Towed – whatever.
My Mother Tongue isn’t English.
You see I’m all for beauty, cannot live without it, will go a long way for finding it, and/or making it ;-)
I actually abhorre ugliness, and refuse snobbing downwards for finding fools, even they might not be far away, though acording to Alex they already sailed away ;-)
I’ll just abstain this April month – going out enjoying the nature’s beauty, trying to improve my photographic skills.
Good Luck All ;-)

Havent been able to get the song out of my head since the challenge was posted. Decided it was a sign and took a pict of my foolishness.
Probably would have done better to enter a pict of myself, but thought this would be more fun.
the green box (I made) has chocolate covered almonds in. the blue box (I also made) has little chocolate candies I made in. the white and orange box (I made) has a silver ring in (didnt make that though) that i thought was nice. The flowers are folded from rice paper and colored with pencil then wrapped onto some floral wire with some floral tape. the loaf is Tropical Banana Bread (my own invention) and the jelly is Raspberry-Peach (my mothers invention). wind-chimes, a garden S (which happens to be my initial) with a butterfly on (which happens to be my fav thing in the whole wide world) and some guitar strings (he plays) round out this hobbitish present.

oh and a box of our favorite tea.

Hope, impressive stuff.

Such a good take on the title of the competition, Hopewrites.
I guess Alex knows what he meant by the title too.

[David Evil Overlord]

Okay, I've posted my two fools worth.

[Alex, The G and T]

If the recipient of Hope's gifts doesn't feel honored and blessed... More fool, he.

Seems dangerous to remove the helmet to take a call. Shouldn't a proper helmet have a built-in communicator?

Agreed.

Obviously designed by a...fool.

Really good entries this month! Just posted my second entry whilst the idea was still fresh in my mind:: Fool's Gold - I used to collect gemstones, and I'm lucky I could still find it!

[Tiffany]

Another good interpretation, Talysia.

It's only the first week. Those waiting to see Alex hoisted on his own petard, will have to be patient. };-}

The weather has been relentlessly foul, for getting out and about with a camera. The One (count 'em... One) fair day I shot 2 dozen high speed, clever, action shots and utterly failed to capture my intent. Partly limitations of the camera and muchly limitations of the photographer. If the weather cooperates next week, I may take another shot at this brilliant concept.

I have a weak plan B which only requires a short drive and a quick snapshot.

The better the previous entries, the harder it gets to come up with a suitable new idea. The best shots come by surprise from nowhere, anyway. Just keep the camera handy.

Ironically, I have a road-trip planned beginning on the 28th; celebrating a birthday and an Anniversary. (11 years, blissfully living-in-sin with the Woman of My Dreams) Any chance to broaden my photographic horizons will come too late! (And where better to see fools in their native habitat than Northern California Wine Country.)

There's still time, I tell you. More time!
