LOL! My eyes are dark, dark brown so light blue eyes always fascinated me. I even end up with blue-eyed pets most of the time.<br /><br />Those yellow sunbursts in the center sound beautiful! The girls will oohh and ahh over him. He's a cutie! I've seen a few people who have two colors like that in each eye. Light brown and green is another combination I've seen. Or brown with a yellow sunburst.Nicole Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535088964454920083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-44444469457508514642009-09-16T11:37:54.664-04:002009-09-16T11:37:54.664-04:00I like green eyes too, Julie.

My DH did something to update the computer and it looks like I lost a few things. Our picture does come up when I comment on Facebook, though.

Unfortunately, in Louisiana, we don't have that beautiful ocean you have. So chlorine will have to do. <br /><br />He used to want to swim in our muddy, deep pond in the back yard, but not when our neighbor was sight-shooting water moccasins while they slithered across the water.

It's the eyes of killers that have the 'fish eyes.' <br /><br />Now to talk about your question with relation to my DH, he didn't glance; he STARED and had been looking before I looked his way. I remembered vaguely that some guy was looking at me, but was interested in the class I was taking and so it came as a surprise to later learn that he'd been talking about me in the back of the class with his friends while I sat in the front seat, intent on the class. Talk about nerdy, huh?! <br />:-)<br />JulieJulie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-2671182822228330722009-09-15T19:18:51.883-04:002009-09-15T19:18:51.883-04:00Sounds interesting, Cameo!

Just remembered, I read a book not too long ago where the heroine was blind, but it wasn't really obvious for a long while because a lot of the story took place in the dark or at night.

Seems like it would be hard to write, especially since I'm a visual person. For reactions, I think they'd have to go more on tone of voice or how someone touches them.
