"Snowman" Surplus

Photo date: December 4, 2019. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  On this day I got a massive repetition of two different motifs: a face-like motif and a "snowman" motif.  The "snowman" motif consisted of a smaller circle on top of a larger circle, both on the right side of an orb.  I saw such a "snowman" motif appear more than 5000 times in most of 1600+ consecutive photos, with the "snowman" motif appearing at least several times in most of these photo. In the post here I showed many such photos, and below are some more. Below is one such photo showing the "snowman" motif, taken at 1:30 PM:

Below is another photo showing the "snowman" motif, taken at 2:14 PM. By this time the "snowman" shape had drifted over to the left side of the orbs, with the lower part becoming more oval:

A minute later there was something new in the photos: an additional circle appearing to the right of the "snowman," as shown below (in a photo taken at 2:15 PM):

It is interesting that in this chronological series, the "snowman" shape always appeared, but there were four different changes over the course of 40 minutes: (1) the "snowman" shape started appearing on the left rather than the right; (2) the bottom half of the "snowman" shape became oval-shaped. (3) a third hole appeared to the right of the top circle on the "snowman"; (4) that third hole then become much wider than a circle. I often see such "gradual evolution" occurring when I get one of these photographic series in which a motif is appearing over hundreds of different photos.
