You're a bird, flying in looking for tasty morsels in the shrubbery. Ooh, what's that, something fluttered by and landed? You investigate...sheeeyit there's a sharp-eyed mammal staring back at you!
The details and the subtlety of the "eyes", formally known as ocelli, are quite astonishing when you think about it. They have "irises" and "catchlights" to make them look like real eyes and from this angle eyebrows and a nose below!!!
Bonfire Season Begins - the first bonfire of the year. Weather is getting warmer and it's great to sit outside again. Our friends have a cabin in the woods, perfect to sit and relax.
The entrance to the 1893 post and telegraph office on Colquhoun Street in Helensbugh. I love how it looks like a telegram boy wearing a cap with his employer's name emblazoned across it.
I like #puddles , pools, ponds, so this is a great time of year for me- #SpringMelt ! + since we keep alternating melting #weather with snow (more to come in the next few days after 18-19C/64-66F today) the puddle season is extended! Not so fond of mud, but oh well!
I shot this icy puddle the other day, where there'd been a much larger pool a week or two back- on viewing on the screen, I realised there was a face, then 2! Not creepy, I think they are #winter#spirits saying goodbye! #animism
I am extremely suspicious of claims that particular #opticalIllusions reveal some aspect of your #personality. Humans are #pattenRecognition machines with tendencies for #apophenia and #pareidolia. It is in our nature to seek out patterns in noise, and to recognize faces in random data. I'd be interested in actual studies that establish a link between these phenomena, and an individual's personality, but I suspect they don't exist.
Edit: Es ist eindeutig in Britz. Am Bauchnabel steht gar kein Baum, sondern dort ist ein Mosaik und die zentrale Stelle des Platzes. Der Baum ist das OpenStreetMap-Symbol für Platz oder Grünfläche. Wenn man durch das kleine Pärkchen läuft, ist das Bild, das die Draufsicht bietet wirklich nicht offensichtlich und scheint (fast) unbeabsichtigt. 🤔
