If you’re into photography, you probably know that bird photos are one of the most difficult ones to capture. Of course, you can just take a shot of them, but capturing an amazing photo requires a great amount of talent. The photographers take hours and hours to set up their shots, sneak and move in total stealth and wait patiently for days on end with their awfully expensive equipment. I think we can all agree that people that dedicate their time to avian photography should get the credit they deserve. The Bird Photographer Of The Year Awards is one of the most respected awards of bird photography. They have chosen 31 finalists for their competition from more than 20,000 entries. One can say these finalists are indeed the best of the best when it comes to bird photography. We made a gallery of their amazing works just for you, and you can scroll down to see them for yourselves!

Our Earth is undergoing radical change with regards to the climate. The ice caps are melting, hurricanes and storms are getting harsher and harsher, a couple of locations are experiencing greater flooding, wildfires are turning into much more common occurrences, extreme droughts are eliminating entire water sources- the list just goes on and on. Today, a lot of organizations and institutions are keeping an eye on what’s going on on our planet climate-wise, and NASA is one of the most important ones out there. Throughout the years, NASA has been watching more than thousands of locations around the world using its space tech, searching for signs of climate change. Because of these reasons, they launched the website called the Images Of Change where they show the comparison photos of various places on Earth, focusing on melting glaciers, results of wildfires, deforestation, extreme droughts, and a couple of other phenomena.

High in the Andes among frozen glaciers, where pretty much nothing manages to survive, a tiny and chubby, blue-gray feathered bird lays their eggs and raises their young. It’s the only bird, apart from emperor penguins, known to nest on ice-one of the most inappropriate environments for raising young ones.

Tulips are significant signs showing that spring has finally come. This time, we have tulips which are both beautiful and tasty. Ice cream tulips address to people’s eyes and tastes. Ice cream tulips have more than twice petals. Below, you can see the best examples.

Most of the perfectly-times photos we see were taken by pure luck. However, there are certain situations in photography that require a professional photographer’s skills and determination. So, you’ve probably never heard about it before, but there’s this thing called the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. It’s a competition that assembles the most hilarious examples of wildlife photography by the most talented photographers who just happened to take the perfect shot of an animal doing something weird, goofy, or downright funny. In this gallery below, we collected some of the finest examples of what we’re talking about. If you don’t think wildlife can be hilarious, we’re sure these photos will entirely change your mind! But of course, seeing is believing. So, we definitely suggest you check our gallery out!

A pandemic isn’t something to celebrate, that’s for sure, but it seems like during the time of the pandemic, many of us discovered new and interesting things to do. Some of us focused on improving our culinary skills, some took an interest in gardening, some decided to get healthier habits and improve their quality of life, they started to exercise regularly, and some started to work on some DIY crafts projects. We all had to discover our creative side since we only had a limited number of activities we could do at our homes, and traveling was completely out of the picture. We can say this designer and jewelry maker named Anna Chan took the best out of the situation. The New Yorker artist went to Robert Moses State Park, where she would spend most of her time by the beach. Since she was supposed to create 12 art pieces for a 2021 calendar, she started to make sand sculptures there. Soon after, this became a new hobby for her. That’s how she started to create beautiful, symmetrical mosaics and real-life animal portraits.

The surface of the Earth is largely covered by water. Oceans regulate the atmosphere and approximately 50-85% of the world’s oxygen comes from the oceans thanks to phytoplanktons. Oceans also absorb millions of tons of carbon dioxide and thus, successfully cool down the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the increase in greenhouse gases has been ruining that. The climate around the world is getting warmer and warmer, and the fish are shrinking in size due to this since sea surface temperatures also increase.

Below you can see a list of houses that are completely hidden from people and where you can spend time with yourself in remote places.

Walking around a tree can create a person a healing, regenerating and calming effect which could be felt more and more amongst the areas where trees are gathered; the forests. Suzanne Simard, an ecologist, says that there are many things happening in the forests that we’re not aware of and that they have an interconnected and complicated social connection which is sourced from underground. "A universe of endless, biological pathways that link trees and enable them to interact, and enable the forest to act as though it were a single organism."   After 30 years researching forests in Canada, Simard discovered that trees can talk with each other over certain distances. She even concluded that trees are very similar with humans as being extremely social and as their survival depends on other trees. Intercommunication in the forest is very critical thing. Mushrooms, via their roots that look like hair, hidden messages are transmitted amongst trees, also those who are in need of water and nutrition can meet their needs through them.   Suzanne would love to lie down and gaze throught ancient trees of British Columbia forests, where she grew up. One day, her dog had an accident and fell into the forest, they needed to get him out of there by digging which caused Suzanne realize the underground connections of trees that she would do studies about later on. During her studies, she discovered that carbon could be transmitted via root of one pine seedling to another root.

We all know that some animals like inviting themselves into photo shoots. This time, a deer unexpectedly welcomes itself to a wedding photo shoot and the results are fully natural and sweet photos. Scroll down to see the photos taken by Laurenda Marie. 

Is it a sea sheep? Or a sea calf, maybe? If you don’t think this creature you see in the picture looks like a sheep, well, its name is Costasiella kuroshimae, which means “Leaf Sheep”, quite literally! This adorable tiny sea slug with its beady eyes and cute feelers looks just like a cartoon sea sheep and feeds on algae just like the real animal! The tiny adorable species, which can grow up to 5mm in length and can be seen around Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines is astonishing since it is one of the world’s few water organisms that can do photosynthesis (the others are all members of the sacoglossa sea slug clade). When these peculiar organisms consume algae the chloroplasts are sucked out and incorporated into their bodies in a process called kleptoplasty. This process, which can only be carried out by single-celled creatures, successfully turns them into solar-powered slugs. Check out the photo of this adorable little creature below and tell us if you want to see it up close for yourself in real life as well!
