Something.... different.

[Dean Wilson]

Being a Serious Hobbyist I am not tied to "trying to pay the bills" with my photography.

Every once in awhile my mind clicks on to something and I wonder what would happen if... Last July I tried Photographing Idioms: An idiom is a phrase or expression where the total meaning is figurative rather than literal. The meaning cannot be deduced by translating the individual words.

Enough of the past. This month I thought I'd try Photographing Pareidolia.

"Pareidolia is a phenomenon wherein people perceive likenesses on random images—such as faces, animals, or objects on clouds and rock formations. It is not a clinical diagnosis nor is it a disorder. The brain has a tendency to assign meaning wherever it can. Seeing a rabbit in the clouds, or an animal (instead of leaves) in the brush is a commonplace experience of pareidolia.*"

This should be good. I’m going to go ahead and put the popcorn on….

Yes, @SwampGrizz, yes.

It you be fun if that was a Monthly Challenge.

That would be a good monthly challenge.
