Beautiful Cuttlefish

Well I have to say I am somewhat disappointed with the response from you all on the mystery photo. We only saw two people sticking their necks out and taking a chance to win fame and fortune. I am sorry to report that, no Erica, this is not a rendition by Georgia o’keefe of a flower petal. However the other guess by the illustrious Endsley Barrett was correct!! Wow, I always new you were a smart cookie, but this bit of evidence certainly proves the point.
Endsley guessed that it was a cuttlebone from a cuttlefish. Cuttlebones are a source of calcium that is fed to birds and are often times seen in birdcages. Birds also use them to sharpen their beaks. I have been finding them all over the beaches over here.
Included in this post is a picture of a cuttlefish. Apparently they live in deep water close in to shore.
So there is your interesting fact for the day. Ends, you will be receiving your prize when we return to the states….hope you can bare the suspense until then. Much love to you….
