The Natural World Is Magnificent But Also Creepy, And This FB Page Is Posting The Best Examples Of That
We have altered our world so much that we don't get to see the beautiful, natural side of it as often anymore. We are constantly surrounded by walls and concrete and mother nature has nothing but beauty and magic to offer, but there is no one around to see it.

When we think of nature, we never expect that it could contain things that look exactly like man-made, glossy objects. You might encounter some unusual things every now and then, like a perfectly circular rock or something like that, but it's never anything jaw-dropping that kind of makes you requestion reality.
Planet earth is so big that you cannot possibly easily explore every single corner of it, some places are even impossible to explore, and they might contain things that could possibly blow our minds. We still have so many things to learn; nature will never fail to surprise us in the most unpredictable ways.
Traveling the world to check out all the amazing things in the natural world can get pretty expensive, but thankfully, social media has us all covered. The Facebook page 'The Fabulous Weird Trotters' offers posts that are "sometimes weird, sometimes fabulous, and every time fabulous weird," and they might be exactly what you need.

We live in a truly magical world. There are probably still many amazing things we still haven't discovered, and I can't wait for that to happen so my mind can be blown further.
I hope we don't completely destroy this planet and all the beautiful things on it.
