  Dahlia told me about pareidolia, it’s “the perception of a recognizable image or meaningful pattern where none exists or is intended, as the perception of a face in the surface features of the moon.”
  
  I’d love to see any examples that you’ve shot along with any stories you might have. Here’s a few of mine.
  
  Funny story about this budding daffodil shot. I was totally focused on post-processing and the dewdrops. I showed it to my spouse who said, “Very pretty, I see a bird!” Annoyed, I asked where??? He said, “Don’t you see the eye?” (I didn’t and went back to work). He’s really good at titles, so I later asked him for a title suggestion. “I See You.” Why? He showed me the eye of his bird which was the negative space at the top right. Now I understood what he meant. The fun (or annoying) thing about pareidolia is that once you see something, it’s hard to unsee it. I now see my spouse’s bird every time I look at it.

    Looks like a tree-hugging chimpanzee to me. Good eye!

  I’m having great fun with pareidolia, it teaches me to think out of the box when I look for eyes and faces and also be creative in naming ( I gotta give a nod to Linus in the comic strip above). Weirdly, this thought popped up (for any Sherlock Holmes fans out the there). I am on the hunt lol

  My grandson had a target on this pine log and was shooting at it with his Red Ryder, and the BB lodged under the bark.

  I’ve been having a hard time shooting snapdragons that I’m happy with at Dallas Blooms this year until this face popped out! I wonder if this is how they got their name?
