Star fish in English. Hitode (Man hand) in Japanese. An interesting difference in perception. When you see so many of them in a group like this, star fish sounds better IMO. Thank you for sharing your findings at Laguna Beach, Tammy. This is really awesome! Congrats on EFP!! #5390066

Tammy Espino January 25, 2008 0
