Did not even think about that. Thought you had found Bam Bam Rubel (Ruble?) all grown up.

Thanks..
 
Thank Goodness they finally made it off that Island!

What promoted me to comment on your pick was that I didn't see any other costumes. Should have looked a little closer and maybe would have dawned on me what was going on. for now I'm claiming a "senior moment" occurrence.

Just spent some hours getting rid of electric wires in this shot of the Catalinas out my back window. It turns out that Photoshop’s spot healing brush does a great job for relatively isolated wires, but when there are lots of them, it tends to replace some wires with others instead of plain blue sky. So, I ended up using the spot healing brush, the healing brush, and eventually the gradient tool to replace the whole sky.

A better way to remove complex criss-crossing wires is on YouTube, and is so neat, does not require touchup or replacement of the sky if you are careful :

After (with some color adjustments too):

I did some more experimenting comparing the above method to the spot healing brush, and found that the main determinant of a clean result is the size of the brush. A smaller brush takes fill from a smaller nearby area, but makes it more tedious to trace over the offending objects; and vice versa. So, this new method is not a cure-all.
 
This morning outside the office at work. I was driving 90 seconds later and couldn't get any other pics, which is too bad, because it got even more colorful.
