The Eyes Have It!

Post by nwscubamom »

Years ago, in another galaxy, far, far away, we did a really fun thread of fish eyes. Post a small photo of the eye, and then everyone tries to guess what fish it is! Here's a starter:

HA! I remember that game, Janna!!!! We had a BLAST with it back in the "old days"!!!!

I still have a bunch of my old "eye" photos, but I haven't yet mastered posting photos here on NWDC, (too cantankerous, I guess!).
