Hazel eyes: I had them before Kelly Clarkson
My mom came out to visit a few weeks ago, and we were standing in the sun when Ben suddenly exclaimed, “Holy crap, you have the same eyes!” I knew it already, but it was fun to hear him say it (hope it didn’t weird him out too much, though). Ben took a photo:
The sun was really bright, hence the faces. Well, mine anyway.
I like having multi-colored eyes. There’s a dark green band on the outer edge of the iris and a starburst of golden brown around my pupils. In between is a medium green that battles with the brown starburst for real estate on a daily basis.
My mom’s father had similar green/brown eyes, though he was colorblind and insisted that he had blue eyes (and blond hair, though it was really gray). Interestingly, none of my Mom’s eight sisters have our hazel eyes —the oldest two have blue eyes and the other five inherited my grandmother’s brown eyes. What are the odds?
If I weren’t already an unemployed writer, I think I’d be a geneticist.
Now you know how you will look in twenty-five years!
I love this photo- it’s soooo super-cute!
Look at these pretty, pretty ladies.
I like this photo too. But I like the way Yvette writes. ‘In between is a medium green that battles with the brown starburst for real estate on a daily basis’!!!!!!
Keep it commin’…….
I love mine, too, although it is a bit hard to put on a driver’s license. Mine have a thin grey band around the outside, then a blue melting into green melting into brown at the iris. The overall effect is like a relief map more than anything else.
I have no photographer friends that can get a good picture. I’m trying in Photoshop.
And I am a nerd, not a geek and I hope not a complete dork.
