Optical Delusion

Want to see something weird? Sure you do.

I posted the above photo on Instagram the other day. It's a bunch of flowers (in case you couldn't tell)  which I spotted beneath a tree on, yes, yet another one of our walks. It looked so pretty and out of place - the only bunch like it we saw all afternoon.

The thing is, it looks like a pretty large patch, but it's really pretty small.

After I took the photo above, Sam decided that taking some pictures seemed like a pretty good idea and he snapped some too.

Here are a couple of pictures of Sam snapping his photos...



When I look at these photos, I feel like it's some kind of weird optical illusion - like Sam is way in the foreground and the bunch of flowers are way behind him. But no, they're all in the same plain! Amazing and weird, right?
(If you disagree, feel free to keep your opinions to yourself.)

Hey Dad,

could you email me these photos please?
AND the ones from your last walk? (the huge clouds and farm lands, and Sam in front of you walking in the center on a path)?

They're so great.
Thanks,
Love you
