Hello, hope you like it!
Ruben,
I was waiting for comments! This is an unusual picture of an egg. The presentation is amusing and akin to making a face out of common objects. Perfection is not needed as we sketch in the rest. This is fun and Dadaistic. I'd love to see more in this vein!

This should be an easy and fun theme to collect a wide variety of imagined faces!

Ruben - this one is brilliant it its simplicity and humor.
I love the idea.
Here is a face I saw in the fireworks - do you see it?
Best regards,
Michael

Very cool minimalist man, Michael. Sorry I missed this post last year.
Usually tip my hat to this beady-eyed sandstone visage when hiking through an Illinois River canyon.

Very neat, Maggie! I see a couple faces here, both of them facing toward the left. The larger one looks a little like an enraged ogre or maybe King Kong. The smaller one has a pointy chin and for some reason, reminds me of William F Buckley. Clouds are mother nature's Rorschach inkblots, aren't they?

Fun Thread! I found this in the Grand Wash, a canyon in Capitol Reef NP, Utah.

I like the cloud Rorschach.

Michael, ah yes. I see you recently revived the thread started by Ruben last year. Thanks! Good choice.
Winston, that red dude even has ears. Far out!
Jarmo, your stony face has a cubic aspect, doesn't it?
Just to switch gears a bit, here's an old burly oak trunk that might have a couple face possibilities -
Burly Oak
The faces I see both look to the left. The closed eye in both instances is at the level where the top of the hill and the sky meet. The face ending at the big gap looks to me like a snoozing full-cheeked imp, while the face ending below the big gap might be a yawning druid.

Winston - Picasso would have like this face
Jarmo - like that geometrical face.
Tom - yes, with that one the mind has something to play with.
A simple one again - do you see the face (ICE is the German high speed train)?

Does it have to be something meant, or can it be an oops/funny/candid?

Ok, well if that's the case. I about wrecked my truck when I caught this "face" in my rear view mirror. I literally slammed on my breaks and turned in my seat to find out what kind of "creature" had climbed into my backseat when I stopped for diesel.
Any guesses on what it was?

Uncle Herman...?
....err... a stow away north American Bison ?
...mutant wolverine?
..your Hungarian borzoi who'd swallowed a billiard ball?
I give up.

A vest. Like clothing. The "eyes" are the snaps on the hood of it. Talk about freak me out though when you catch a glance of it out of the corner of your eye staring at you through the mirror.

Michael, fantastic door knob! The wood of the door itself appears to be worth further exploration.
Trees growing around fence wire always catches my attention. It is a common sight, but there is something admirable about the determination of a plant to work around an obstruction. This old trunk wound up with a face that reminds me of Bart Simpson:
Wired Walnut Tree

Tom,
Thank you. I like old door knobs for their ornamental elements providing a lot of food for imagination.
Trees are indeed determined like you wrote, the example of yours shows it well - I also see Bart Simpson .
I have to look if I have also examples.
Best regards,
Michael
