Pareidolia : the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.
I was picking up some wool threads off the floor yesterday and HAD to take a picture!!! Do we see the same thing? What is the first thing you thought of when you saw this image?

A person! I was so glad, Mavis, when you introduced the word “pareidolia” to us all years ago. My dear departed father was always seeing images(as do I). I was happy to be able to share this term to describe our “knack” for seeing the world through a different lens. 🙂
Mavis Butterfield says
A different lens indeed. My husband thinks I’m nuts. Ha!
Heather says
I see a person with a tennis raquet and a large derriere beding over slightly. I also see, if looking as the right hand side of the object being the front, a lady with a big nose, long face, and prominent chin with her hair styled in a bun
Teri says
I saw the person with the tennis racquet too!

A sea horse with legs.

A person of a certain age learning to play pickleball.

I see a person bending over to retrieve an item from the floor. Wonder what the hidden meaning of this is, or will be?
Cenith says
I saw a woman with a low ponytail. She was holding a hose. And watering her garden. The hose does have a few loops in it.
Dianne says
A person playing Pickle Ball. Not sure if they are male or female. Looks to me that they have short hair. But, that doesn’t matter, does it?
Alison Cooper says
Someone playing pickleball!
Bea says
An old lady’s side portrait. I can imagine her chin whiskers.

A man kind of bent over walking his dog, although the dog is invisible and so is the leash. And THEN, I saw a dog standing up and his nose is the person’s head.!
