    Hmmm..........I see tons of things that aren't there, or so I have been told. Being on an island, there are things here that locals will talk about, but others won't.
    Anyone remember Taotaomano? ;)
    I also hear voices at times....the ones in my head don't count. I really do think I am going crazy at times, but then again...I LOVE living in MY world!

    Just look at all the people who see things (faces etc) in other things. You aren't strange at all. A friend of mine told me once that when that happens, you are thinking with your creative side. :)

    Same here. My DM got me started when I was very young. It was the way her Art School had her percive things. So she told me.

    Here's a rock that I call Monkey Face. It is about 40' high.

    I don't see faces in fabric, but it could be only a matter of time before I succumb to the illness as well!

    Would you believe that my 3rd grade teacher taught my class how to look for faces/people/animals in textures? I have never forgotten it. There were two classmates in that class that became successful artists and they started out tracing the figures and shapes they saw when no one else, other then our class, could see them. I remember in elementary school we were taught how to be creative whether we were or not.

    Barb-MO, for what it's worth I saw the face instantly in the first photo; didn't have to search for it at all.

    Relax - we're all okay (or we'll all crazy but then who would know?). Seeing faces in objects is a natural phenomenom called pareidolia.

    One explanation is here: http://www.skepdic.com/pareidol.html
