Why do I keep seeing faces in nature?

Pareidolia (pronounced "par-i-DOH-lee-a") is a brain phenomenon in which a person sees or hears something significant in a random image or pattern. Pareidolia is what causes peoples to see faces in inanimate objects

A common occurrence for me. I’ll often smile feeling like nature is looking back at me, but sometimes there’s a different vibe to it and it can be quite piercing. Hard to shake even. Nature has many moods though, just like we do, and she’s not shy about expressing them.

It makes me smile too. I feel like I’m being watched over in those moments. They dont stay around very long it could be that a cloud provided just enough shade in the right spot at the right time, and then it disappears. Or it’s only visible from a certain angle and maybe that means that spot is significant.

I have always done that. Didn't know it had a name. Sometimes I see faces on the inside of my eyelids and wonder if those are people I knew in past lives.

I took this one a while back. I swear I see a woman’s face coming out of the rock looking at the mushroom

And this is one of the most famous pareidolia images…

Is it a an old photo of a child sat on their father’s lap?
Or is Jesus himself, making an appearance?

Nice! It took me a minute to see the child. All I could see was Jesus

Very cool!
i think it would count if you didn’t mirror the image and manipulate it yourself. that definition applies when you see faces in nature while out in nature. ?
PrestonJ · 36-40
I’d have to disagree. The only thing I did was rotate the image. Granted I didn’t see the face until I did that but it’s still of nature from a place I went so I’m counting it lol
oh, i thought you mirrored it. i didnt get you at first. @PrestonJ
