It is definitely there and prominent. Look at the area referenced and think spider eyes on a spider head looking directly at you, and the spider will jump out at you.

Truth in editing: added a "k" so it makes sense.

 

Some of us are apparently less... sensitized to spiders than others of us.

 

Or it could be an owl...

 

Or baby Eagle. I like that better. LOL,

 

There's also a mushroom on the front of the $1.00 bill as well.

 

Photo, or it ain't there!

 

I'd post one, but I already ate the mushroom, which is why I'm seeing all these things in the first place.

 

That’s my boyfriend

 

I'm not sure I approve of dating outside one's own reality...

 

It’s right there. You don’t see it?

 

Ok, here I’ll point it out.



The story behind that is: My mother worked as a waitress in the Buena Vista in Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco throughout the entire decade of the 70's. She worked the shift from like 6pm until closing (2am). She was there the night that the original Pier 39 burned down.

Anyways, she'd get coins from around the world from tourists who came in to try the world-famous Buena Vista Irish coffee, amount other food and drink.

She'd give me the foreign coins and that's what got me going on coin collecting at a very young age. I had accumulated a pretty sizable pile of foreign coins by the time I was like 7 years old.

So fast forward to around the mid-80's while I'm a kid working in restaurants during the summer vacation from school, washing dishes, preparing food, etc. etc. I worked at a restaurant at the airport. So talking with retired pilots who were regulars, I'd sometimes talk to them about coins. One such person I was talking to about coins told me about the dollar bill with a mushroom on it, saying it was worth a fortune if I found one. I sat there looking all over the front of that dollar bill. The customer was giving me clues such as, you may need to turn the bill a curtain way for the light to hit it just right in order to see it. I looked at that bill for like 10 minutes, so determined to find the mushroom.

Eventually I gave up and said: "ok, where's the mushroom?" The person then folded the bill and BOOM! There it is. LOL.

Another pilot did something similar with a $10 bill. Told me that there's a hitch hiker standing on the reverse side of the bill in front of the building somewhere. I looked at it for a bit and then gave up. He took the bill, looked at it and then commented: "Oh, he's gone, someone picked him up." LOL

They also showed me a couple of neat tricks with coins as well. One of these days I'll post them up on here.

 

I recall we did that in either 2nd or 3rd. Grade, I don't remember which.... I am in my 70s and my memory sometimes fades.

 

Whoa...COLORS
