Guess Who - 6 - “I have heard the mermaids singing.” T.S. Eliot

I shall be thy lover...

I am a creature of the Fey
Prepare to give your soul away
My spell is passion and it is art
My song can bind a human heart
And if you chance to know my face
My hold shall be your last embrace.”
― Heather Alexander

Fabulous shot Annie!

[Sam]

Mmm I'm trying to work out what this is! Is it a hippo underwater?

[Osia Strasner]

I love that poem, but all I can think when I look at this photo is dancing hippos! Maybe, dancing, grass eating hippos... :-))

[Annie D]

@shepherdmanswife @gigiflower @panthora
not as forboding as a hippo

[April]

Manatee? Aren't they the animal from which the mermaid stories originated? Intriguing image.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens it doesn't really look like bollocks does it? A vegetarian it is.

[Eve Pulsater]

Looks like a Manatee or Dugong to me.

[Bankmann]

It could be a Southern Elephant Seal (mirounga leonina)?

[Denise fuller]

A seal?

[Kathie]

Perhaps a walrus. Love the lip whiskers.

[Emilie Cartoun]

Fav!

[Taffy]

So intriguing!! Great textures and lines and I see an eye, I think, and maybe some whiskers?
