It's Macro Mondays and this weeks theme is Pareidolia.For those of you not familiar with the term, (I certainly wasn't) Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon that makes a simple sound or image into something far more noteworthy. The human brain is masterful in organizing visual data into meaningful and significant shapes. It is a way to make sense of random or ambiguous patterns where none really exists.
Common examples are animals in clouds or faces in electrical appliances.
When I looked at this mop head, my first thought was the movie Predator with his hunter looks and "dreadlocks" Of course, my colleagues are saying "Dreadlocks? It has to be Bob Marley!! "
HMM :)
Another spider - there were a few before in the project 365, but none of them with an archetypical spider web. I feel slightly bad about this one - after I had taken my shot, when packing up the camera and flashes, a small branch fell down and destroyed its web...
I'm sure it'll be rebuilt tomorrow though.
Another photo of our cat trying to be a predator behind the window glass.
This photo was taken using an M.Zuiko 40-150 Pro lens @40mm.
When I moved to shot her bottom, she fled higher into her web, hence the small photo despite its a macro lense. Very uncooperative, with strange marking that brought to mind my favorite horror alien, Predator.

I rarely see hawks where I live, so it was very exciting to watch this one swoop down and land just a few feet away from me! I grabbed my handiest camera and managed to get a few shots, and the bird let me get within about 20 feet, but as I moved just a little closer, it flew into the tree. It seemed to be watching something intently, but I didn't see anything. It was probably a rodent near the dumpsters. (Yuk.) One look at those powerful talons and that beak, and I know I'd never want to have my cats or a small dog outside unattended! Looks particularly lethal!
This is the final stage. The stove pipe is held on loosely by two three inch screws. The pipe prevents predators from climbing the pole.
Cloaking predator from Predator 2. I got the NECA figure the other day and had to give this a go.
A WIP of sorts. I don't intend to do this scene again but was thinking more of the inner city stuff. I have a bit to do on the Pred but there is enough here to get the feel I think. I've used that new clear piece that comes in the small avengers set to get the parts to come together.
The Predator looks really cool in real life, but is incredibly difficult to photograph. The headpiece is based on vitreolum's recent Predator build.
After catching and killing a prairie dog, Coyote trotted over to some tall grass to consume her meal. This worked out well for me, because that brought her in close - this image is only slightly cropped, whereas the previous kill shot was heavily cropped. When only a scrap of hindquarters remained, she carried it away, past me and across the dogtown until she disappeared from sight over a little hill. I moved on, too... in search of other prey.
