Well, it might be a little stronger than a mere grimace, but we’ll ride on the polite side for a change. Pareidolia is the brain’s insistence on convincing us that just because something has a vague resemblance to, oh say faces in anguish, we should interpret that as faces in anguish. Considering these little sights come around as one of the earliest signs of Spring, they amuse me to no end, and although there are hundreds of these shots in my collection, I’ll try to make sure one is enough for public consumption. You’re welcome.
