On October 11, a softball-size, Blue eyeball washed ashore in South Florida. Wildlife officials determined the source likely came from a swordfish.
They based their conclusion on the eyeball's color, size, and structure, along with the presence of bone around it.
Swordfish are commonly fished at this time of year in the Florida Straits offshore of South Florida where the huge eyeball turned up.
In fact, swordfish can reach 1,000 pounds.
Researchers think a fisherman cut out the eye and simply threw it overboard.

You definately get the prize for the most unusual Blue of the Day! Amazing that it washed ashore intact. Sure made for SciFi mystery in the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation...Giant Squid...Arrrrggggg!!!
Hi Sally!
Thanks for hosting this fun party! Nice to see the thumbnail links, however Chrome didn't show the "enter" button so I had to use Internet Explorer. I only mention this in case others have the same issue :)

Happy Blue Monday Sally, thanks as always for hosting this site.
The eye is very freaky, not sure if I would like to find this on a beach.
Wow..beautiful blue!
Hi Sally.
I wish you a nice new autumn week and a nice blue Monday.
Marit.
Isn't nature amazing?
Thanks for hosting. Mr Linky is playing up...
I've read about that on yahoo as well.
Well, you took top prize today for your blues. I never saw a blue eyeball. Most interesting and unique. I do not watch much TV, so I did not know about it. I had no problem with your Linky today.
Sally,
Thanks so much for hosting and what an interesting post!!
Hugs,
Debbie
If it's the truth, I'm wondering how the fish eyeball can turn into blue?
Interesting but still weird for me.

Thanks for hosting, Sally...have a great week ahead :)
very interesting read! Wishing you a Happy Blue Monday, Sally!
Good morning Sally, It worked this time. At first I didn't think it did but when I hit refresh Walla!
The fish eye is so interesting. I too believe it is a swordfish. Amazing. I had no idea a swordfish could be so huge. Live and learn.
Happy Blue Monday,
Love, Jeanne
This was one of the coolest blues I've ever seen! Great great post!!
How have you been my Smiling Sally?
All the best,
John
Debbie-- these were Blue Contacts the Swordfish had made. (OK- so I'm telling a fish story!)

Delicious swordfish eye, I really love your photos.
Hi Sally!
I saw this on he news! What a thing to find on shore ...it would have scared me!
Hi Sally. I did try again but it won't work. I will leave it like this. I didn;t get your email, sorry.
"What big eyes you have!" The first photo almost looks like pottery.
Gives new meaning to Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eye(s) Off Of You."
Hi / Sally I am glad it did work. I also got your email to tell me that it worked. Now about that enormous blue eye. It has such a beautiful color that blue is gorgeous. Have a nice week Sally

Have a fabulous week****
Hi Sally! I am having laptop troubles but came on the desktop and can not get the picture to load! Sigh! I am sad! :(
weirdly beautiful Sally!
I am not sure what is happening! It came up and now it is gone, my little image!
Yea, it came over! At last!
I'm so glad I found Blue Monday! I did see that eye on the news and boy is is even creepier up close....but BLUE! Haha! Thanks for coming over and posting a comment! I love comments and surely don't get as many as you do!!
Hi Sally *hugs*
Isn't that a huge eye. I guess it has to be a big eye because the fish is so large!...so large. Thank you for sharing this interesting information.
Thank you also for your sweet comment and prayers for Janine...I hope all the best for your Jenna and my prayers will be going out for her as well. Strength and comfort in numbers.
Judi
Yes, it looks just like the swordfish's eye. Some sort of blue!
Wow that was really cool and weird! Thanks for sharing. I have been seeing lots of blue fish this week. I thought of you!
Have a good weekend. See you Monday.
