Rainbows, Skyscapes, Death and Oddities

Ah, we treated ourselves to delicious Apizza Scholls Pizza last night with Evyl K, Jim and Josie.  Half Pepperoni and Goat Horn Peppers, half Sausage and GHPs on one and Half New York White and Half Tartufo.  Brilliant!

After the vittles, we grabbed this photo of a rainbow as it has been raining, sunny, raining, hail off and on for about a week now...


A couple of nice Skyscapes as well....

Smilin' fish cheeks...
