Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won’t buy, but have you ever tried to buy them without money?

More visual pareidolia, the tendency to see faces in (snow covered or otherwise) objects. Amazing!

These are extra-super-good! The first one looks amazingly elephant-like to me. I do wonder, in the second one, how the snow got inside. I bet there’s a good story behind that.

The last one is a bit unsettling – it kinda looks like a beheaded snowman murder victim… or maybe I just watch too many true-crime videos

My husband took that picture. It’s just a brush pile in our yard after a recent snowfall. 🙂

Good eye to capture that one! Everyone must interpret visual things a little differently, because I didn’t see anything ominous in it – it kind of reminds me of a dog with black patches around its eyes and a lopsided mouth with its tongue hanging out the side. lol

I always think that some of these have been ‘engineered’, but the mountain and the last one haven’t.
Regardless, they are all amusing, especially the elephant.

Love these. We just had 4 inches of snow but I haven’t been outside to find faces nor thought to look until now. 🙂
