2. The hexagonal pattern of insect eggs on this leaf suggests that, perhaps, the world really is programmed on the computer.
3. A sunflower before it blooms seems like a carnivorous alien.
4. “An abandoned roller coaster that will eventually be discovered in the future by the next civilization who will study it for years trying to figure out its purpose”
5. “The storm that ripped through Chicago on Monday afternoon uprooted this 70-foot tree like a boss.”
6. “A small space near my tire collected soil, which eventually sprouted a plant.”
7. No sneaker in sight, only a comfy planter!
8. “This tree mutated to grow pines on its trunk and branches.”
9. “My cacti grew some long flower arms.”
10. Oh, no! The sky has cracked open!
11. “This plant grew perfectly through the lock hole on the door of the shipping container used for storage.”
12. “These shells look like little butterflies.”
13. “There’s a tree knot in my yard that I thought looked like a Regency-era couple, so I brought them to life.”
14. “My sunflower has another sunflower growing out of it.”
15. “The bush outside grew through my window frame.”

18. “An old car park sign consumed by a tree in my grandparents’ village”
19. That’s the feather of a phoenix.
20. “It’s a dogwood tree, of course!”
