I’m pretty sure you’ll have no trouble at all spotting the hidden owl in the image next to this article. I’m little embarrassed having to admit I have had this photo on my computer for over a year now, but never discovered the hidden illusion – up until today. So, beat me shamelessly and discover [...]

Patty Winsauer sent this magnificent photo along with following text: “Hi. This is a picture my aunt e-mailed to me. It is from the Best Photo Awards by National Geographic. It took me a while to see the zebras, cuz I thought the zebras were gray and their shadows were striped. I’m not completely sure [...]
