Countdown to the Winter Solstice

See ALT text for my impression of this pareidolia.
Pareidolia: Seeing meaningful patterns in randomness. Moving water in brook with a rock and bubbles trapped beneath ice in which a perceive a creature with an open mouth taking a big bite of a frozen treat. The rock on the middle left of the frame is the creature - we see their head in profile facing to the right of the frame and part of their body. There is a black spot on the rock for an eye, an outcrop of rock looks like a horn. On the right of the rock an indent looks like the open mouth. Below that indent is a small hand. The white bubbles in the water under the ice look like a snow cone or ice cream. Enjoy whatever you see. Or not, as the case may be.

Pareidolia: Seeing meaningful patterns in randomness. Release the hounds! This Pareidolia is quite abstract/cartoon like, but it is what I saw as soon as I looked at this ice. Enjoy whatever you see - or not as the case may be. Puddle has iced over trapping pockets of air making white patches among the dirt and leaves in which I perceive a pack of hound dogs facing to the left of the frame. Two dog heads and their bodies are visible in the middle and I imagine other parts of the pack of dogs are surrounding them - a tail, other legs or ears.

Here are three of my dogs after a walk in a snowstorm last winter. Today was rain and sleet and not very scenic. The dogs love to jump up and hug you until you smile, especially when they are sloppy and wet.
Three Border Collie dogs stand on a porch. Their fur ins sprinkled with snow, and snow is falling.

We are just getting into icy puddle season where I live in New England. I find that sound to be so satisfying.

Bonus icy puddles are great for finding pareidolia.
Frozen puddle surrounded by dirt and rocks in which I perceive a face in profile facing to the right of the frame. Pareidolia: Seeing meaningful patterns in randomness.

Ice on the pasture from the water trough in which I perceive a creature with a wide grin. Holes in the ice are eyes and nose, Crack/fold in the ice piece appears to be a mouth full of grass. Pareidolia: Seeing meaningful patterns in randomness.

Border Collie sits on a mossy rock next to a brooklet (water course smaller than a brook). Dog is wearing a high visibility vest of yellow and orange for hunters to spot her safely. She has a very intense look here, I believe she was ready to be sent on a next task after I asked her to sit for the picture.

Picture of the head and shoulders of a tri-colored Border collie. Dog looks up at the photographer who just might have been commenting on the foul stuff the dog rolled in. Reminds me of this haiku: I love my human Thus I perfume myself with This long dead squirrel

Here is the photo of two of my good dogs that I intended to share for day 23 of the countdown to Winter Solstice. Not sure what happened. I trust you all managed the count down on your own.

Handsome Logan (L) and Ike (R) posed for a photo on our afternoon walk.
Two Border Collies pose for a picture on a path through the woods covered with leaves. Dogs are wearing blaze orange vests to identify them as not being deer, turkeys or other fauna people may be hunting this time of year.

White bubbles collect to form foam in patterns on the water of a brook in which I perceive a bird holding a stick (or a very large worm) facing to the right of the frame. Pareidolia: Seeing meaningful patterns in randomness.

Sunshine through clouds, with a bit of blue peaking through too over green/gold pasture surrounded by bare trees. Border collies ran in the wood, so not making an appearance today.
