Janet, you have to put the image tags around the url of the photo you are trying to display in your post.
Best wishes,

You are experiencing pareidolia contained within the broader psychological category of apophenia. Here's a helpful URL:

To broaden this thread, if I'm right, and this is a case of parediolia..it suggests that the semiotic or "communication" theory of Art is flawed at the core. Art relies more on ambiguity of meaning, rather than an attempt to noiselessly transmit precise meaning.
