Face it: the thread of pareidolia (Images with perceived faces etc.)

This is one side of a burl I found on a gum tree.

And this is the other side...

Excellent samples - lots of faces, claws, wings etc. to see in there... quite creepy, but also beautiful!

Very good! He's sleeping with his mouth open 😀

This is absolutely brilliant!! Even more delightful since it took me a few seconds to "get" it. You are just beyond human in your artistic endeavors, Johannes!

Maybe we've been looking for aliens in the wrong places... here's one rigging a trap for me in my garden. She's smaller than I would have expected.

I'm told this is a goat. Not sure I see it 😁

I don't care if she's alien, I want her in my life!

WOW!!!

Only a mother could love!

Sea Monkey
When I was a kid thousands of years ago, we read comic books. There was always a page that hawked various fascinating things you could order - wrist watch radios, x-ray glasses, whoopee cushions, and sea monkeys, tiny eggs that when submerged were supposed to morph into swimming monkeys. I always wanted them. This sea monkey was formed by wave action, not ordered in a comic book. I always look for designs in wave marks just as I do in clouds.

Ominous sunset looking down upon my Solitaire Friend by AlainCh2, on Flickr

This one from Poland looked like some sort of animal with green hair sleeping in the shallow water ;-)

Maybe this one from Italy could be called "Skull cave " ?

Excellent capture - looks really interesting! Like something you would see in a fantasy film.
