Well that took most of the weekend, but I am finally ashore. Lots of rabbit holes. I kept seeing parts of the meta, but I did not get it all together for a while. Happy to be ashore!

It is worth trying to see these magic eyes because the result is FREAKIN' AWESOME. Every single one is the most AWESOME CRYSTAL CLEAN GLASS hyper-focussed image you have ever seen in your life! They are really amazing.
And there is box CUT OUT OF YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN and the velociraptor is JUST FLOATING THERE IN SPACE!
It really *IS* worth trying to figure out how to see these because.... as fun, and cool and humorous it might be to mock complain about how you don't know what's going on.... actually seeing what *is* going on is way, way, way cooler!
TRY AGAIN!
Thanks for giving me inspiration (and explanation) to try this again. I used to be able to do it. Just can’t get this one. I wonder if it has to do with wearing progressive glasses; something new for me in the last few years. But I’m going to dig out the big book my kids had back when these first came out. Maybe a bigger format, or non-digital format will help.

Finally! I should have stayed with my first instinct and I would have saved several hours of frustration. Still, the "aha" moment was satisfying.

Seeing a T Rex in the eye puzzle? No problem
Seeing a way to shore on this puzzle? Problem.
Still working on it.

Got to this one a little late, but quickly on shore. This theme seems a little...loose? Is that just me?

If you're talking about the Magic Eye, yeah, pretty loose

This is one of those weeks where my wife happens to take a peek at what I'm doing. I have to reassure her that I'm not losing my mind because I'm sure I sound like...well...
I guess what I'm saying is if anyone wants to drop a hint, I'm all ears.

@Merry Potter (post #61) I have a similar experience to add but will wait until tomorrow in case it’s viewed as a spoiler.
Stay well all

Count me with Isaac yet again. No inspiration in sight.
