Tea leaves

The human mind seems sometimes to impose order upon randomness. When looking at chaotically arranged items, one can sometimes subconsciously assemble them into a familiar object.

After drinking a cup of tea some time ago, I decided to play a bit with the leaves remaining in the bottom of my cup. Restricting myself to not touching the leaves directly, I moved them around using the small amount of remaining liquid.

Sometimes shaking the cup produced a familiar shape of some sort or another. Once I found an interesting shape, I shook the cup around carefully to make it resemble that shape slightly more. Below is one example of the result, but I will leave it to the reader to imagine what the leaves might remind them of.
