Food: making the best of a bad situation

From the people who brought you When Life Gives You Lemons ™™️, we bring you: When Life Gives You Pizza Crust ™™️
I had a terrible pizzeria experience yesterday, for many reasons, one of which was the paucity of toppings.
So I enjoyed the good part, and turned the rest of the crust into more pizza today.
#WhenLifeGivesYouPizzaCrustMakePizza

Half a pizza in a pizza box. The lack of toppings is striking. There's one slice that's about 1/3 toppings and 2/3 crust. After I ate the parts with toppings, I saved the plentiful crusts, and turned them into more pizza. This time totally loaded with grated cheese, crumbled feta, onions, peppers, and tomatoes. You can't even see the base anymore because it's mostly toppings.

#MonochromeMonday

Light caustics in a pool, bright ribbons of fluctuating light, with a distorted blue tile pattern at the bottom.

#SilentSunday

Abstract photograph with a light colored m-shaped ribbon through the middle, and blue tones above, and greenish copper tones below. All with a wrinkled texture. The colors are similar to faded cyanotype on white fabric.

Let the belly rubs commence
(Please!)
#DogsOfMastodon

A small gray dog lying on his back next to my red plaid pajama clad leg, a little blep of a tongue sticking out, looking up pleadingly because he wants a belly rub Same dog, eyes closed in pleasure as my left hand gives the solicited belly rub. Still with a little blep of tongue sticking out The same dog, still on his back, now in play mode, mouth wide open

And here's a great golden digger wasp, seen in two halves

The goldenrod is opening up, and it is abuzz with insects. Here, a Mexican grass carrying wasp. One photo in focus to show its beautiful shape, the other out of focus to show its ethereal coloring.
#wasps

A Mexican grass carrying wasp on goldenrod flowers. The wasp is black with a kind of glitter or iridescence, with a thread waist. The same wasp, totally out of focus, and with the light making purple and pink bokeh on its wings

I saw a beautiful skunk on my morning walk before dawn. Low light and I obviously didn't want to get too close. They're really gorgeous creatures. Nice lines and curves and contrasts and long flowing fur.

A very grainy photo of a skunk in a green yard. The skunk is black, with two white lines going down each side of its body. Its tail is raised and looks like a cascade of fur.

All from the same trail I hiked earlier this week
#FootpathFriday

Looking uphill at a series of dusty stone steps, with boulders to the left and plants to the right Looking downhill at a series of stone steps in the middle of a forest trail. We're looking out from under a canopy of green, to where the path opens out into the old quarry. It's dusty and rocky, with a path through a bunch of jagged and unstable rocks Back in the forest, a dirt path through a canopy of green
