Interesting about the eyelid. The last shot is great - love the water drop.

Thank you all for your comments.

it wasnt a very good pic but i thought the eyelid was interesting , looking through some of the others from that day ,the inner eyelids close sideways , for blinking and keeping the eye protected underwater and in flight.
