Moments Nature Proved You Don’t Have To Go Far To Be Wowed

Sometimes, the most impressive things we can find are the ones that we find close to home. Maybe it's a little shop you never really went into before, or a type of drink you were given by mistake that's actually super good, but maybe the most impressive things of all show up when you take a moment to stop, look around, and see the color of the flowers in the neighborhood.

Sometimes, the things in nature that are right under our noses are the best things.

It Almost Looks Animated

These mushrooms were arranged to look like this, but the colors are still all Mother Nature's doing, and that's pretty incredible. Isn't it wild that we don't even see all the colors, only a small part of the spectrum?

What happened here is likely that a small crack had formed and the water from the waves coming onto the shore got in the crack and started trickling down making this beautiful little path.

To avoid being waterlogged, the roots of this tree are growing straight up into the air! I wonder if they will go back down eventually if the water clears up at all.
