What do you see in the photo that I used in the header of this blog?
Sure, Clouds. But what do you see in the cloud formation?
What I see is two small dogs playing…the one on the left (use the “eye” as a vantage point) is sparring with the one on the right. A touch of imagination shows another little dog jumping in the air with ears flying.
I did not see the little dogs the first several times I loaded the page and saw the header. But apparently my eye caught the dog’s eye…and presto! the picture slid into place.
Just now my son came into the room and I asked HIM what he saw in the clouds. He sees Santa Claus, hat, beard…sleigh of toys to the left (where I see the little dog with the eye.) And where I see the floppy-ear dog, Scott sees the reindeer… stylized, of course.
Now, I still see the playing dogs–but I can also make out Santa.
What do YOU see in the clouds?
I see two small dogs besides the one big dog in the left and they are all joyous 🙂
Thanks for the insights, this pic is really beautiful as I said when I first saw it 🙂
Have a great week!
Love and light ❤
Anand 🙂

Pareidolia! Fascinating psychological phenomenon….Some images are more distinct than other….Has much to do with the ‘sub-‘ or ‘Unconscious’ of the perceiver. Your prompt was easy to pick up….Yes, instantly spotted the first dog…then the net….
Interesting your grandson ‘saw’ ‘Santa Claus’….I wonder why?
Hugs! ❤
