Faces in the Forest
StellaLuna and I (aka Me) love to go hiking in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. While we hike we look for faces in the trees (they tend to hide). When we spy one, I'll take a picture of it. StellaLuna likes to pose with
them ... when she can, she's not very good at
climbing trees. She says she can talk to the tree beings. She likes to tell me what they are saying since humans
haven't learn to listen to them, but I think she's making it all up.

The Pareidolia Forest (a photo book with words)
Using some of the pictures of StellaLuna with her forest friends, we wrote a
short book called The Pareidolia Forest. If you like to read the web version click

Silhouettes
For some of the
faces, I'll create a simple silhouette to frame the photo with, to accentuate what we saw. I call these silhouettes. You can check them out on my flicker page.
