Oddities and Beauty in Nature. #2

Hi everyone! It is a beautiful sunny and warm day here with a south wind blowing. We did have some rain early this morning and the humidity is very high today which makes it feel even warmer. Anyway, today we continue our look at some oddities in nature that can be quite beautiful if we take a close look at them.

Mostly we overlook a lot of things in nature because we look for something that is big and spectacular. But a lot of interesting and beautiful things are quite small. And in some cases, like today, many people would rather not look at them.

These I like to call “pollen cones” because they look somewhat like a pine cone, if you have a good imagination. Unfortunately they do cause a lot of problems for many people who suffer from pollen allergies.

But they are definitely an oddity in nature. Hopefully you won’t be too upset with me for showing these photos today. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and God bless!
