Anniversary
Of sorts. Today marks 23 years we've had our newts, Kong and Mister. Kong, by his name is the larger of the two. We had no idea they were so long-lived, nor as toxic as they are. 23 years of changing the water every two weeks so their toxins won't build up and kill the other fish. We usually keep a variety of tetras, a couple of corydoras, and several kuuhli loaches in the tank with the newts.

Very nice!
We live right next to the Gila National Forest and about 45 miles from the Gila Cliff Dwellings. About a mile from the dwellings is a rock formation that reminded us of Michael from the Halloween movies. So I decided to hav some fun this thin.
Here is the original shot, then a Photoshopped version.
