#pareidolia
As I wandered the #YeadingBrook through meadows & woods, I heard wind whistling through trees, over stones almost like a voice. And it was saying…
"Scram youngster! Old man Gutteridge don't SHARE his STICKS with NOBODY!"

I haven’t posted any #pareidolia recently but this rock caught my eye today. It looks like a piece of #ChristmasCake to me! #lichensubscribe

I see watery eyes, nose, mouth, a beard, dark hair, and pimples on that grey face on the tree trunk - what a lichen!
Btw... it's a Lecanora dust lichen in the woods.

@LizEllisPhD There's a #Pareidolia tag here, which is highly amusing

Visual psychological phenomenon may have stimulated early humans to make cave art
https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1002309
Specifically, the idea is
that cave artists may have experienced #pareidolia – a psychological phenomenon where people see meaningful forms in random patterns, such as seeing faces in clouds. #science #anthropology #humans #CaveArt
Sad
Lepraria finkii (Fluffy Dust Lichen), I think, or at least this is what #iNaturalist tells me

I currently have a pronounced #pareidolia effect where I see birds and bird shapes everywhere. They are magically appearing in my painting.
Today there is a #heron added, and even yesterday's crop of the painting I noticed a peacock (her leg in purple.)
I really like #painting #birds it seems too.

More from the vegetable pareidolia department ... I provided a red pepper for last night's scampi. My friend referred to my neighbor's new relationship with my mom as "the happy couple" while slicing the pepper, and this appeared!
(My neighbor is 80, my Mom is 81)
Okay so my heirloom bubblebutt tomato got made into a Greek sandwich. That's right, @WecanbeGyros

On Terra there would be archaeologists looking for ruins of past civilizations. Here on Mars, it's just Mars trying to make a Terran robot feel at home 🙃 😀
