15+ Times Mother Nature Didn’t Need Any Special Effects to Impress Us

The world’s first “special effect” was created in 1857, and 40 years later, the first on-screen special effects took place in a motion picture. Today, just 1 minute of visual effects in a movie can end up costing up to $5,000, if not more. There’s one artist in our world that is an expert at messing with our perspective of reality and that is none other than Mother Nature.

Our planet knows no limits to its creativity and Bright Side took a virtual walk in nature and put together some things we have never seen before.

1. “I found a jellyfish washed up on the shore.”

2. “Ghost Plant (aka Ghost Pipe) found high up in the mountains”

3. “These rocks I found on the shores of a lake are fluorescent under UV light.”

4. “I found a perfectly white leaf on our walk.”

5. “Frost pattern on a car this morning”

6. “Triple snow bow all the way across the sky”

7. “I found this camouflage log on the side of a creek.”

8. “A rainbow formed a perfect circle on some clouds.”

9. “Found this fox den today while fishing — it may be the luckiest picture of my life.”

10. “My parents moved out to a ranch. This was their view this morning.”

11. “This small tree found its way through an old truck.”

12. “Pineapple with 2 crowns! Never seen this before.”

13. “This tree looks like it has an ear.”

14. This large zucchini is as real as can be. It weighs 45 lbs.

15. “Found ‘A’ stick on my walk today.”

16. This mushroom aka Xylaria polymorpha is shaped like a hand and is as real as it can be. You can find more cool fungi here.

Would you dare to touch the hand mushroom? Which one of these images would you like to frame and display as art in your home? Let us know in the comments.
