My poor sister, Lisa had to work on Halloween this year, but she made the best of it by dressing up in costume. This is her and her co-worker, Tyler in the cutest Halloween costumes I've seen in a loooong time. Haha!
Daaaaang! Glad we came along after the fact!

This is Bella and Diego. They were lying together on the bed and I just had to get a pic. Boba Fett is behind them, but she was busy bathing, so I left most of her out of it.

If fish could speak, this little fellow would no doubt be saying his prayers (between gulps).
Clamped in the beak of a kingfisher, he has only moments to live before a final journey down the predator's throat.
This was the climax of a thrilling sequence of action captured on camera by wildlife photographer Ilia Shalamaev.
Last supper: The fish appears to be terrified as it takes its final breath trapped in the beak of the kingfisher
Perched on a branch above the rushes, the bird waited patiently before spotting its prey below the surface.
'The kingfisher swooped down like a rocket and snatched it,' said Mr Shalamaev. 'He flew up and landed on the same perch again with the fish in his beak. Then he turned it round and ate it, head first.'
The pictures were taken at a lake near Rishon LeZion in Israel.
Poised to attack: The kingfisher waits for the right moment...
Takeaway dinner: Photographer Ilia Shalamaev had been watching the bird hunt on the lake for four hours
With the fish in its beak, it heads back to its perch to feast
Down the hatch: The kingfisher completes its meal
Small ice figures are seen on the stairs of Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin, Sept. 2, as part of an art project presented by the environment group World Wide Fund for Nature. One thousand ice figures by Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo were placed there to melt to symbolize the effect of global warming.
