Description
Recently I posted a photograph of this abalone shell that I found on the shore of the Pacific in Northern California. A visitor suggested an eyeball in the center, which sounded intriguing.
Here is the result , which might be a surrealistic sci-fi scenario of carnivorous abalones feeding on unfortunate scuba divers....

Fabulous, pity that poor diver. Back in the '50's it was common to use an eyewash cup if something got in a child's eye, I always imagined my eye would get sucked out :)

Awesome and disturbing Douglas! (I can’t imagine who would suggest you do that.) Cheers!
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks, James...Disturbing is indeed a splendid compliment in my genre, especially coming from such a connoisseur of Fine Eyes as yourself !....this was the second eye that I tried, the first was the same image as this but twice as big and obscured the beautiful patina of the shell. I have an inventory of hundreds of eyes and eyeballs, and could probably spend a month uploading variations .....this is “One and Done” for now....
