Holy ugly fish Batman!!

I agree, this is quite a find, unattractive yet sort of compelling in a way we can't turn away. Odd, with a great waterborne shadow.

The odd species reminds me of an old Motown song by the Marvelettes 'Too Many Fish in the Sea'...

What we don't know we don't miss, but what we learn is really fun!

Donna said...

Hmmm, kinda an ugly little fella!

Enjoy your weekend, girls!

Hugs,
Donna

I do believe I would have nightmares if I came face to face with one of these critters!

A PARFAIT DAY

A seeker of shadows one day
Did trip as she went on her way;
She picked herself up
And dipped from a cup
Of shadowy lemon parfait!

That is one ugly fish, but it does ake for nice shadows. It probably scared Robin away.

That is one freaky looking little fish...cool!

After you asked me to "share" more about my SS...I added a couple of links to the comments about rotospheres and the Dort Mall :)

Hey Harriet said...

Haha! Oh he's funny looking! That mouth is cracking me up! He doesn't appear to be very happy. That's how I look first thing in the morning pre-coffee! I've never heard of batfish before, and between you and Lisa's rotospheres I'm beginning to think I live a very sheltered life! Thanks for the giggles! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
