More Eyes

[pyat]

I've posted a closeup of velvetpage's eyes before. Today, at a birthday party for my nephew, I snapped a photo of Elizabeth while she was sitting my lap. She also has distinctive eyes, blue with a hazel fleck. The blue is brighter than velvetpage's, and the fleck not as well defined. Still, very cool.

Blue is recessive to brown but dominant over hazel, so you must have got a blue gene from the parent with brown eyes and it's anybody's guess what you got from your father. That means a child of yours is more likely to have eyes like LA's, because baby will get blue from him and hazel from you, or vice-versa. There's about a one-in-four chance of pure hazel, which is pretty rare because it's recessive to most other colours.

Genetics experiment! Now you have to have a baby to see if I'm right. :)
