Optical Illusion Cracker

I was taking pictures of some crackers I just made, and through the lens of the camera, I saw a face in one of the crackers. Kind of like the man on the moon is made of shadows and ridges. So I took some photos of it, for the fun of it.

But here's the weird thing. When you look at it up close, it sort of looks like a face. Big deal. Sort of a stupid smiley face. But if you step back from your monitor, it changes. It looks like a bear's face.

No, really, I'm serious. Look at the photo, then step back and look again.

I didn't do anything to the cracker before or after I baked it, and I didn't do some sort of Photoshop magic on the photo. Heck, I don't even have Photoshop. The white stuff is a dust of flour that was on the cracker, but there was nothing artistic about that. It's just residual flour. And the image is in the cracker.

But here's the photo. You tell me.


You see it, right?

Could it be a message from Frosty the Polar Bear?

And yes, there is a recipe coming for these delectable crackers. They've got a kick of spice, so I named them Fire Crackers. Check back on July 4 for complete details.
