Faces in objects. People have claimed to see Jesus, the Virgin Mary or Elvis in their burnt toast, sandwich or an oddly shaped potato chip.
A small study from Finland, published in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology, has attempted to find out what types of people are most likely people to pick up on these visual perceptions. “An ability to see faces is more common in some people than others due to differences in how our brains process information,” says Tapani Riekki, a doctoral student in the division of cognitive psychology and neuropsychology at the University of Helsinki. “It’s normal, and actually fun, that our mind plays tricks and triggers the face perception when no actual faces are present,” he suggests.

Maybe it’s just my imagination but I see something on Mr. Bowie’s head. You can see it too, right?
Mr. Bowie says “Oh no!! The blonde pillow thief is running naked through the house! Correction, MY house…”
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
Geweldig!
Bedankt, Wiske!
Beautiful shot x
Thank you, Michelle!
Uhoh…….I’m thinking Mr. Bowie took a sneaky peek at the blonde pillow thief….! That’s a super photo Herman.
Pam
Thank you, Pam. Unfortunately, I was too late to take a picture of the blonde pillow thief…
The subtleties of his fur are revealed in this beautiful shot.
Thank you, Sue. I was surprised myself when I saw this picture (and the animals on Bowie’s head…).
If I lean back I see a kangaroo face…….does that mean I’m normal, lol…or not. Great shot of the gorgeous guy.
YES!! A kangaroo, that’s exactly what I see too… Glad I’m not the only one… 😉
Great minds and all that……cool!
I saw a baby deer — but kangaroo is more like it. Really neat! And by the way, Mr. B: There’s nothing scary about a naked pillow thief. It’s just her without her fur coat on. She probably just forgot it. You could help by reminding her.
Oh no! I just realized! I actually have no reason to believe that the pillow thief is female! So please substitute “her” or “she” with “her or his” and “she or he.” Sorry about the assumption!
Ha ha ha… No problemo, Bugs…
I see bat wings. Is Mr. Bowie the secretive Bat Cat?
The dark side of Mr. Bowie…
I see a puppy’s face!!! And Mr Bowie should not have seen a naked Blonde Pillow thief; too traumatic.
It is even traumatic for me too…
Did the trauma leave a mark on your forehead too?
It’s Kanga!
You sure…??
Um, duh! Totally!
Million kisses to Mr. Bowie, so lovely 🙂 Thanks and Love, nia
Thanks for hanging around here, Nia. Much appreciated!
I saw a bat too–the dark on Bowie’s ears are the bat’s ears, and the fur pattern between is its eyes and nose. That’s probably what you saw as a kangaroo–some people see the faces, some people see them entirely differently!
This post is turning into a kind of Rorschach inkblot test!
I agree with Kangaroo…Bowie is a master in the art of disguise-
I’m waiting for his Elvis disguise…
I know Mr. Bowie can act, but can he sing?! 😉
I see a bat in Mr Bowie’s pose, and I see I’m not alone;-)
Hey Timothy, some people see a deer too. This post turns into an examination of the human mind… 😉
It’s like using Mr. Bowie as a Horshack Test;-)
Having already read the other posts… with my eyes wide open I see the bat, when I squint I see the kangaroo… and now I see a serpent slinking around Mr. Bowie’s face… I think I had better stop looking!
Please, let me know if I have to remove this post… 😉
LOL!
I was going to say a kangaroo or deer. Great photo! 🙂
Thanks, Liz. No bat for you…??
Oh, my gosh, yes! A bat, too!
My brother and I amused ourselves to embarrassingly long times seeing what we could find in the markings of a ginger tabby cat I used to have. Differences in how light hit his hair, body position, where he was in relation to us revealed any number of interesting figures in his hair!
I saw a deer, myself, in Mr. Bowie’s fur. Tabby cat patterns are very pretty no matter what.
I can’t make up my mind… a deer or a kangaroo… No bat, though…
Skippy 🙂
Lovely shy picture of Mr B … or is he being discreet 😉
I think there’s a heart on your head! Woooooowooooo, Ku
I can see the kangaroo, but only after reading other comments! I saw a darkish love heart first, right in the centre of his forehead.
I am in the deer camp. Another great shot.
What? Pepper Potts is running naked thru your house??? My word !
I see a little deer in your little dear 😀
Yep, saw it too. A picture that challenges the imagination. Thanks.
You shouldn’t let your human taste your nip, you know that 😉
Purrs
My mistake, I thought it was Thai Basil…
Ha ha, case solved!
I don’t see a kangaroo. I see a flying bat.
I can get the deer or kangaroo heads. But who is this Blonde Pillow Thief…and why are they running around your house naked????? 🙂
