Frankenweenie Sea Monkeys

 

How did I miss this one?

I enjoy a good Tim Burton flick, especially his older works like Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Beetlejuice, and Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

And of course I love his animated masterpiece The Nightmare Before Christmas so it's surprising that I've somehow never seen Frankenweenie. Well, now that I've been informed the  movie features Gremlins-esqu monster Sea Monkeys I will correct this post haste!

Poppin' some popcorn now...

Rainbow Sea Monkey.


 Nice to sea the flying Sea Monkeys (Sky Monkeys?) getting in on Pride Month.

David Speakman shared this photo and explanation on Facebook.

"This very rare form of rainbow - sometimes called a fire rainbow - is caused by the angle of the sunlight hitting cirrus ice crystals in the atmosphere.  The effect is fleeting, usually only lasting a few seconds before either disappearing or turning normal-cloud white. 

This was spotted June 5 in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. 

Some think fire rainbows are where the concept of dragons came from.

The fire rainbow is play of light weather phenomenon,  a form of Circumhorizontal arc."
