The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real. ~Lucian Freud

I see both. Is it the drugs?
Quite likely.
I see a tree. Is it an avocado because I will believe you if you say so. 😀
It’s whatever you see! 🙂
I stumbled upon it in the forest during a hike, so… 🙂
But when I showed it to my son, he clearly saw a halved avocado.
It’s a tree! I win. Is there a prize?
A congratulatory pat on the back.
If there’s no soup, then I’ll gladly accept the pat on the back. 😀
Atta boy *pats Rob on back*
Thank you. Now, if you’ll excuse me – it’s time for lunch and I have a strange urge for an avocado.
I crave avocados all the time.
i am going with tree…but…
I can see a monkey face in the lower hole and that was the first thing I noticed…
Love how this tree is inspiring all this imagination! 🙂 Now I’m off to search for the monkey.
I see it! Do you see the roaring lion, in profile, to the left of the larger hole?
yes!! i do 😀
And I found another scary cartoon face over the far left.
Scary cartoon scull face!!
Okay – look at the face right below the two holes, at the base of the tree on the right!!
This is an awesome tree 😀
Completely.
also this didn’t show up in my reader…wordpress is being stupid again!!
Stupid WordPress.
Ok, I’m weird… I see an ear. 🙂
Haha! I love it! Now that I’m really looking at different parts of the picture, I’m seeing all kinds of crazy stuff. 🙂
It’s like watching puffy clouds for bunnies and dragons. 🙂
Totally! Just found a very clear face at the base of the trunk on the right. Do you see it?
Yes! And a second face on the left bottom corner too… Crazy! Now I understand people who say they see Jesus on their grilled cheese sandwiches. 🙂 Maybe…
OMG I just snorted water out of my nose! YES! Totally!
I’m reading this on my phone, and honestly, the first thing I thought of was…ahem…a certain female body part. Clearly it’s my phone. Yes, clearly that’s the problem…
I was wondering how long it would be before someone saw that. *grin*
I am tickled pink that it was you, Ms Carrie! 😀
I blame my medical training. I’m not really a weirdo.
Uh-huh.
Nature nurtures . . . from See to Shining See!
Teehee… you so pun-ny!
I’m with Carrie – and now I’m wondering if that was your demented little mind’s plan all along! Cool colors – love the photo!
Who…me? Never!
Ha! I hope you have fun with this post! You asked for it! 🙂
If you look inside the bigger/top hole, you might actually see a torso/boobs. 🙂 So much fun in this game.
I’ll come back for a closer look. Who knows what that thing could morph into!
Snort!
Nice.
I am sorry but I see vaginas. Lol
Bahahaha! Well, you know, some say that the avocado looks like a vagina. 🙂
It certainly does here. Oh what would Freud have to say about that? hehe
Every time I look at a painting of an avocado or an orchid all I see is lady bits. 🙂 What would Freud say about that??
I know it’s a tree, but it looks like an alien……..
alien, avocado, ear, vagina… we’re getting a lot of mileage out of this tree!
I see beautiful colors and an avocado! Mmmm! 🙂
Love me some avocado, Chica!
I see faces in a tree…my usual wild imagination at work.
Not nearly as wild as some of the others. 😉
I’m thinking I need some Pink Floyd pumped into my brain to bring out the full meaning of the Technicolor tree. Then I and the tree can be one in a galactic mind meld. Okay, that is all crap. Nice image. 😉
Psychedelic Patrick: I like it! 🙂
I don’t know exactly what I see, Nancy, but suddenly I’m very hungry.
Haha! I get it. Totally.
I just ate an avocado… for breakfast!
Breakfast of champions. 🙂
I knew I wouldn’t be the first to admit that lady parts were quite visible to me, then an avocado and then I realized it was a tree! Great Wordless Wednesday!
Plus lots of very clear faces buried in there!
Yes, every time I read one in the comments I had to go find it! 🙂
🙂 I’ve found a couple more faces every time I open it. some seem so blatantly obvious now, I’m surprised I didn’t see them right away.
I’m pretty sure I’m seeing the state of Israel as is seen from the International Space Station. With Jordan as massive carbuncle on the side.
Yep. It’s definitely Israel.
Busted. We have our winner.
I must concur with Kate and Emily: I first saw lady bits.
Yep, can’t deny that jumped out at me too.
I can see a tree. . Interesting photography..😀
It is a tree, Himali! 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!
