Have you ever looked at something, noticed that something was strange about it after you already turned your attention away, and then gone back to see what it was that caught your eye in the first place? Well, we call that a double-take, and we think that all of the photos on this list are definitely worthy of a second look.
Keep reading to see a kiwi with very few seeds, a strangely shaved cat, and a coiled-up cord that looks a lot like a certain Sesame Street character.
How Peanuts Grow
First of all, did you know that this is how peanuts grow? But also, this photo was taken by somebody who just randomly found a peanut growing in their flower bed.
A squirrel must have planted it there or something.
A Floating Trash Can
Okay, so this trash can isn't actually floating, but it could have fooled me.
It's just sitting next to a water stain on the street that kind of looks like its shadow from this angle.
Whose Head Is Whose?
I promise that this is not a really flexible woman. The woman who is bending over has her head down.
The woman in the hat is sitting upright beside her.
Believe It Or Not, This Fire Is On Purpose
Because getting debris off of power lines can be really dangerous, in China, they use drones equipped with flame throwers to get the job done.
Believe it or not, this is the safer option.
Johan's Ark
Imagine just chilling at home and then seeing an ark pull up to your house. This ship was likely built by Johan Huibers, an artist from the Netherlands.
He built the ark to warn citizens about the dangers of flooding and climate change.
A Perfectly Cut Avocado
It takes a whole lot of knife skill to be able to cut an avocado like this. It looks so cool and pixelated.
Is anyone else craving avocado toast right now?
A Very Confusing Photo
This is clearly a photo of a dog standing in a pond looking at his own reflection, but there's so much fog going on here that we can't tell where the reflection starts or ends.
I am honestly still having trouble figuring out the perspective of this pic, and I've looked way more than twice.
Where Did The Shadows Go?
It looks like these poles have been photoshopped into this photo because there aren't any shadows in sight.
It turns out that the sun is just directly over these poles.
A Giant Nerd
Someone must have messed up at the Nerds factory, because this person ended up with a giant yellow Nerd in their Nerd box
That doesn't look like it would be all that fun to eat.
A Geometric Tree
So, trees don't really grow like this all on their own. People can persuade trees to grow like this through a process called grafting.
It takes a long time, but you end up with really cool results.
An Extra Suit
As far as we knew, there were four suits in a deck of cards: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades.
So why does this deck have a star suit in it?
Square Ice Cream
There are a few ice cream vendors around the world who sell their ice cream by the square scoop.
It looks cool, but it also looks like a cube of cheese on top of a cube of butter.
A Halo Effect
What you're looking at in this photo is Japan's Mount Fuji. On this day, a perfect lenticular cloud appeared over the summit.
Sometimes a mountain just needs to have a hat.
A Ghostly Staircase
There isn't actually a staircase along this wall. What you're looking at is the shadow of a railing being cast onto the bricks.
I guess it could be a staircase for ghosts.
A Perfectly Polished Roof
The roof of this car is so clean that you can't even see it.
All you can see is the reflection of the top of the garage above it. That's insane.
The Curse Of The Black Walnut
Black walnut trees are beautiful, but they also make a mess of your lawn.
That's because they produce a chemical called "juglone," which is poisonous to a lot of other plant species, including grass.
Hello There, Jason
The combination of this coffee stain plus the pattern of holes on this espresso machine is giving us major Friday the 13th vibes.
Jason, is that you? I think we should run before he haunts our dreams forever.
A Matter Of Perspective
This street artist drew a huge bottle of Purell on his driveway. He had one of his daughters stand on one end and one stand on the other.
Now the girl on the pump looks super tiny.
So Who's Holding The Umbrella?
Clearly there's a hand holding it but just who does it belong to?
I see the couple holding hands and each having a free hand, so there must be someone we can't see behind them holding the umbrella. Right? Or is that just Casper?
The Result Of Smoking
This person took a paper towel to the television screen in the room of a person who smokes, and this is all the residue that came off of it.
That can't be healthy.
That's Not Sludge
It looks like some kind of sludge monster is oozing its way out of this lawn. That's not actually the case.
What you're looking at is a tree root that's looking to expand its horizons.
A Single Seed
This person cut open a kiwi expecting it to look like, well, a normal kiwi.
They soon discovered that there was only one single seed inside the fruit. How odd.
A Worried Plank
For some reason, this plank looks very, very worried. Maybe he's scared that he's going to get turned into sawdust pretty soon.
I don't know if I could bear to cut this piece of lumber up.
A Ghostly Reflection
When reflections bleed into each other, things start to get weird. The gothic design of these windows is only adding to the spooky effect.
We're sure you've seen an effect like this before.
Apparently More Than One Way To Hold A Can Coke
This man has some very flexible hands and I respect that. If someone asks for a party trick then this is surely a show stopper.
I'd love to see the reaction of his friends to this.
Forever Changed
This cat had to have a patch of his fur shaved for surgery.
When the patch finally grew back, it stayed the same dark brown color as the cat's undercoat.
A Highway To Heaven
This highway in Wyoming is really steep, but we promise that it doesn't go up forever. What goes up must come down.
You just can't see the down part because of all the fog.
No, That Man Is Not Riding On The Woman's Back
All these people wanted was a nice family photo on the ferry. Too bad they wound up with an optical illusion.
While it looks like the man in the blue shirt is on that woman's back, his "leg" is nothing more than the black stripe on her shirt.
This Is One Photograph
While this looks like four photographs that were pieced together, it isn't.
Amazingly, the photographer was able to angle their camera and capture four totally different aspects of a single scene!
So, Which Way Is The Plane Going?
This photographer has some serious skills. While it looks like the nose of the plane is heading to the right, the raindrops tell a different story.
Looking at the water droplets, the plane looks as though it is flying in the opposite direction.
The Lifecycle Of A Strawberry
This is not a photograph of a white flower, weeds, and a strawberry.
It is actually the complete lifecycle of a strawberry, starting from a tiny flower bud and moving to a pretty white flower before sprouting into fruit.
This Is The Same Room
At first glance, this looks like a collage photograph of two different rooms - one immaculate and white and the other covered in graffiti.
Alas, it is the same room, perfectly cut down the middle with the graffiti work.
A Hippo Rock
This is one of those rocks hikers most likely skidded to a stop to take a double look.
At first glance, it might look like a normal boulder but, looking closer; it is actually in the shape of a hippo.
A Happy Little Bob Ross Burrito
This was a happy little burrito that was most likely delicious solely because it has a mark that looks like the artist Bob Ross.
It probably took the person a minute to actually eat his face, though.
A Shoe Camouflaged As Gravel
A doubletake might not be enough to spot the sneaker in this photograph! Try looking three or four times and notice the white rubber of the bottom of the shoe.
Then, look up! The shoe is so perfectly camouflaged with the gravel it is insane.
A Hypocritical Pole
Sorry, folks, but when a No Smoking sign is put up, make sure it is not secured to a pole that looks like a huge cigarette.
It is a tad hypocritical and will make people stand in front of the pole wonder what is going on.
That Is Not The Cat's Shadow
At first glance, this definitely looks like a white cat and its shadow. But look again!
It is actually a white cat alongside its sibling, a very dark black cat.
This Is A Rock, Not A Piece Of Toast
While rocks come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, this one is an anomaly. At first glance, it totally looks like a perfectly browned piece of toast.
Hopefully, no one tried to bite into the pebble, though.
A Familiar Face
This person started rolling up their headphone cord only to realize that it looked exactly like Cookie Monster.
This was a total accident, but we still think it's pretty cool.
