Bird flippin' trees and other nonsense

Sometimes I see pictures in things.  

What I mean is,  usually when I am looking at something with a pattern in it: wallpaper, plaster, tile floors, marble, cork board, old ceilings...well, you get the idea....I can typically find 15 or so different faces, or animals, or elves.....

A lot of people do this with clouds.  For some reason, I can't do it with clouds as easily. But give me some bathroom tile and I can go to town. 

I always wish I had a sketch pad with me to draw what I see at the time.  It would be a good creative exercise.  But, typically, it's when I don't have my "tools" on me.  Like in the bathroom. TMI?? (yeah, probably.)

I was the kid that took plastic baggies and turned them into dogs.  Random shapes ALWAYS turn into something.  I have a tattoo of a dolphin "morphing" into an angel that's wrapped around in a semi-circle...most people think it's a palm tree.  Even unintentionally, I morph something it seems. Ha.

Today, J. and I were sitting out on our back porch enjoying lunch in the sun. (YAY SUN! whoooop!!! Can you tell I am sun-deprived?)

Well, I have noticed this before but it really struck me today and made me laugh.....

This is really tricky to see in these photographs, but if you look close, really close,  the new growths on each of the pine branch tips...especially the ones alone in space....those new twiggy things that look a bit like fingers? (Look at the far left of the bottom picture).....What do you think?  

Or maybe, I AM truly losing it.....
