The life of this flat as a mat fish includes metamorphosis.
Young flounders swim upright with a typical eye situation until .... boom .. the eye starts 'migrating' to the other side of their body.
After this fishy right of passage occurs the flounder starts leading more of a horizontal lifestyle. He starts digging, hiding, and feeding on the sandy bottom of the ocean. Do you think that he is embarrassed about turning into such an odd looking fish?
The wooden shoe clad vintage postcard couple are too enamored with each other to notice the fatuous seafood at their feet.

Don't you just love the stuffed flounder? Who wants to be stuck with a boring teddy bear when this is an option!
I doooo love the stuffed flounder! I also love... cheese. Cheese!
MMMMMM... Flounder Florentine .. stuffed with cheese and spinach would be scrummy:)
I'd never known about the flounder's eyes...one more reason I enjoy reading/viewing your blog. And I agree about the flounder florentine, yum...
Its funny how the amourous couple do not notice those fish! Great postcard.
