Wanna See Something REALLY Scary?

This capture is SOOC except for a slight crop. The hole in the tree is not carved - do you see the face? Here's the story. I took the first capture of my neighbor's tree on Saturday afternoon for the tree theme. I didn't view it on the camera until later that night and when I did, I saw the face. I took the camera over to the light (face was still there). I got the magnifying glass (face was still there). I deleted the image from my camera (yes, I was that freaked out) The next morning when I drove by I zoomed the camera in - and didn't see it! (even more freaked out by that!) So the next day I decide to approach the tree (slowly) When I was standing about 6 inches from it, I could finally tell that it's just the color and split sections of the bark that make up the eyes and nose and a hole for the mouth.So here it is...enjoy.
