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 no longer see its beautiful, natural side as often. We are constantly surrounded by walls and concrete, while Mother Nature has nothing but beauty and magic to offer; yet, there is often no one around to witness it. As noted by Dr. Andrew Weil, an integrative medicine expert, "Nature has a profound ability to heal and inspire us, yet we often overlook its wonders." When we think of nature, we rarely expect it to contain things that resemble man-made, glossy objects. You might encounter some unusual sights now and then, like a perfectly circular rock or something similar, but it's seldom anything jaw-dropping that makes you question reality. Planet Earth is so vast that it is impossible to explore every single corner easily; some places are even inaccessible, and they may contain wonders that could blow our minds. We still have so much to learn; nature will never cease to surprise us in the most unpredictable ways. Traveling the world to discover all the amazing aspects of the natural world can be quite expensive, but thankfully, social media has us covered. The Facebook page 'The Fabulous Weird Trotters' offers posts that are "sometimes weird, sometimes fabulous, and every time fabulously weird," and they might be exactly what you need.
