April Fool's - Whee!

( Links to April Fools that amused or interested me, with commentary. )

The weather is my April Fool's joke....

I kept saying I wanted it to rain again for my allergies. It is raining again, quite heavily. The weather forecast says it should rain or shower for this whole next week.

The Japanese Gardens are, as of today, on summer hours - open until 7 pm. Sunset tonight and tomorrow is before 7 pm. After daylight savings time hits, that won't be the case any more. Two days I could get shots of sunset light from the Gardens....

...and it's pouring rain and supposed to be clouded up all the time it isn't pouring rain anyway.

But it's lovely weather, and maybe I'll get lucky. Trying to decide if I'll go tonight, or just tomorrow (tomorrow is showers, not rain; plus I'd be there a while tonight before sunset came, if I went straight from work...).

I'm sure I'll figure it out, but the weather must be my April Fool's joke.

Gardens after all.

The rain let up after a very soggy morning. Late afternoon was mixed cloudy and sun. So I went to the Gardens after all, and I took photos, and it was good. The sunset was not very showy. (The Gardens face east, not west: the sunset has to be good enough to color downtown to be really worth it. I have seen this effect, it does happen. But not tonight.) I had a good time anyway. I left work, got there early, walked around. Eventually I had no interest in walking and looking any more but still needed to wait for the sunset. So I sat down and read a book on architecture (computer programming sort, not buildings).

It provided me some amusement to sit reading that in the middle of the Gardens, but why not? :)
