Pareidolia
"Pareidolia (/pærɨˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-doh-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse.
The word comes from the Greek words para (παρά, "beside, alongside, instead") in this context meaning something faulty, wrong, instead of; and the noun eidōlon (εἴδωλον "image, form, shape") the diminutive of eidos." Source: Wikipedia
Macro Mondays, Oil and/or Water - the Water part - will try for another contribution today, but I have a sick child and an even sicker laptop to contend with, so may be pushed.

7DOS, Week #16 - Early Morning, Thoroughly Abstract Thursday
52 Weeks of Pix 2014 - What Am I? I've taken a bit of a break from posting regularly on Flickr and am now trying to get back into things, albeit slowly.
So, this is something we all need and use on a daily basis and tend to use first thing in the day, through the day and last thing at night. Answers on a postcard :-) - I'll reveal all in the tags in good time.
Thank you for any comments and/or favourites, which I always appreciate. I am taking a bit of a step back from most things Flickr so my apologies if I don't reciprocate, but I'll try to do so when I pop in for a quick visit.
In the meanwhile I'll be posting regularly on my Facebook page - you're welcome to visit me at www.facebook.com/LyndaHPhotography
