You don't have to observe nature for very long in order to see it do something cool.
With a plethora of plants, animals, weather conditions and seasons, nature always has something unique up its sleeve.
All you have to do is look for it. Or, alternatively, you can find a curated list of cool nature stuff on the internet.
This is cool because it's kind of like the mirror is helping you get a head start on scraping all that ice away.
Citrus fruit has some of the best colors out there, ranging from deep scarlet to vivid orange to ghostly white. This pic makes me hungry for some juice, and, as a bonus, gives a look at some fruits we seldom see all the way peeled.
For something that many of us see solely as food, or an egg-delivery system, chickens are interesting little creatures that are clearly capable of forming deeper connections than you might expect.
This tree looks so out of place in this desolate, dry sand dune that it really makes you wonder how it got there in the first place.
This is more banana for your buck, which could be a good thing. But in my experience, oversized fruits and veggies don't always taste that great.
Clouds cast shadows on the ground all the time, but it's another thing entirely to see them cast endless shadows on the sky itself. The scale, the grandeur, the colors — it's all so much to take in.
Earth's atmosphere can travel sand and dust particles extremely long distances. In some cases, those particles can make everything a very eerie and unsettling orange.
Here's one of those scenes that probably goes unnoticed 99.9% of the time. But when someone has a camera ready to capture it, it's pretty special.
Speaking as someone who stepped on a (very painful) sea urchin once, I'm never swimming in salt water ever again. There are just too many unknowns.
It's wild how a winter day can drain all the color out of a landscape. In just a few months, this same view will be teeming with color and life.
We all know that lizards shed their skin, leaving behind a full-body skin sheath. But this is the first time I've seen one drop a glove.
These are smoky mountains, not the Great Smoky Mountains. That means they're literally on fire, which isn't always ideal. So it's kind of spooky how beautiful a scene all that smoke can make.
If you're looking for a companion, but don't have the time for a dog or a cat, this anthropomorphic little plant should suit your needs, especially if you despise being woken up for early morning walkies.
When photographed just right, the reflection seen in a puddle can seem like a portal to another world. So simple, and yet so evocative.
Is this a coincidence or a message? I'm certainly hoping it's a coincidence, but one can never be sure.
Washington likes to flex about its cherry blossom season, but when you see the blossoms in full bloom with your own eyes, things start to make sense. It's a solid flex.
This is one of those things that's super cool to see so long as it isn't happening on your own property. Also, best to learn about it before they hatch and your walls start leaking lizards.
With nature's infinite possibilities, I present to you Mother Nature's greatest accomplishment: creating a dog that looks like Will Ferrell. It's absolutely uncanny.
It took me a second to notice the unusual sequence of this dog's footprints. Do all dogs walk like this, or is this one just weird?
This is the look the cool kids give you when you work up the nerve to ask if you can sit with them in the cafeteria.
