These days, we’ve been hearing a lot of negative things. From the pandemic affecting millions of people to inequality making people’s lives worse, it’s easy to feel like there’s nothing good happening anymore.
However, if you pay attention to the small things around you, you’ll realize that small wonders continue to happen around us. You just have to pause and take a closer look before you can appreciate them.
If you’re looking for something to lift up your spirit during these trying times, here are 50 photos that will make you believe that the world is still full of wonders.
1. Megalodon’s tooth
Megalodon teeth are considered highly prized by a lot of fossil collectors. If the teeth are in excellent condition, they are considered more valuable. This one, however, is hard to tell if it’s real or not. Nonetheless, it still looks amazing, right?
2. Perfectly balanced
There are no wires or beams that hold these boulders together. It’s crazy how nature works sometimes.
3. The pattern
The pattern on this shell looks really nice. It’s like someone painted it with their hands.
4. Skate’s eggs
This is an egg case. Made of collagen protein strands, it can hold up to 7 skate embryos.
5. Baby camel
This baby camel looks like a stuffed animal. It looks so fluffy!
6. First Disneyland ticket
The first ticket to Disneyland was worth $1 before. If this person sells the ticket, I’m pretty sure it’ll be worth more than that.
7. A weird egg
Believe it or not, this egg came from a chicken. She made weird noises when pushing this one out. Thankfully, she recovered well after laying the egg.
8. Not moving
The horses remained standing still throughout the night. As a result, their shadows still have frost when morning came.
9. Glowing rose
This forged steel rose looks really pretty. It seems to be glowing from the inside.
10. Unique
White-bearded dragons are considered rare. They completely lack colors and patterns.
11. A common thing
The design of this road isn’t intentional. It happened due to asphalt melting and it’s quite common in India.
12. Bears on a tree
Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. Those are actual bears on a tree. They probably think they’re birds for some reason.
13. A plant in a car
Apparently, you can put different things in your car and that includes plants. Although it does look pretty, I wonder how it can survive the insane heat when the car’s parked.
14. Hummingbirds’ nest
This nest is too small that you’d think it’s a pretend nest. It’s nearly the size of the coin!
15. Entertaining neighbors
You’ll never feel bored if you live next to this house. They have life-sized models of Mike and Sully and they placed them at the perfect spot!
16. Sweet
It must feel romantic to walk along this road. If you look up, you’ll see trees hugging.
17. A storm in the desert
A rainbow and a lightning bolt in the same picture. Whoever took this picture got quite lucky.
18. Infinity
Glasses create amusing illusions. The longer you stare at it, the more mesmerized you’ll be.
19. A living piece of history
This turtle is about 100 years old. It’s crazy to think about all the things it witnessed while cruising the water.
20. An old print
This fossilized dinosaur footprint can be found in Utah. This human saw it while on a trail.
21. A macro shot
These aren’t bullets. These are photos of a new and used sewing needle.
22. Two colors
This is the flower for people who can’t decide what color they prefer. Whether you like pink or yellow, you’ll love it.
23. A natural phenomenon
No one covered the ground with plastic. This photo was taken when snow melted and the flash froze.
24. A full-sized dragon
The design of this home can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on which neighbor you ask. For those who are into dragons, it’s an interesting design. For those who aren’t, it’s a nightmare.
25. Mesmerizing
This is a 5655-carat emerald. They named it Inkamalu which means The Lion Emerald.
26. Bicolor
I’ve never seen a sunflower as beautiful as this. The deep red color looks great against the yellow part. The color of the bees is cool, too!
27. Fragile
This egg has two shells. Whatever is inside it must be super special for it to have double protection.
28. Like a soccer ball
Contrary to what you might be thinking, there’s nothing wrong with this watermelon. It doesn’t have holes. It’s not deflated either.
29. Those eyes
This Maine coon has beautiful blue eyes. Staring at them feels like you’re being transported to another dimension.
30. Unique cloud
Clouds take on different shapes as they float in the sky. However, this one is a bit unique. It’s almost like a perfect circle!
31. Odd
This carrot-shaped lemon wasn’t grown in a laboratory or science institution. It naturally grew this way in a woman’s backyard. She must have been surprised to see this on her tree.
32. Odd tree
This palm tree looks like it grew on another tree. It’s a good thing that the bottom part is strong enough to hold the entire tree.
33. Fog dome
A fog dome is a rare weather phenomenon. Experts suggest that the presence of a source of heat close to the ground causes it.
34. Eyes
Although this walnut tree looks magical with those eyes, I don’t think I’d feel comfortable being near it, particularly at night. It feels like those eyes will be watching you closely.
35. A sky of its own
This isn’t a hand-painted egg. It’s not even a piece of glass. It’s actually an opal with its own sky inside.
36. In the garden
At first glance, you might think that this is an insect or even a baby snake. However, if you take a closer look, you’ll realize that it’s actually a cucumber. I wonder how it’ll look like once it’s bigger.
37. Hair ice
“Hair ice” happens when water freezes in dead wood. Take note that it only happens under the right conditions, like a winter humid night when the temperature is below 0°C.
38. A rare color
This eye feels like it’s hiding a different planet inside. One can easily get lost just by staring at it.
39. A split sunset
There’s no filter involved in this photo. It’s just a picture of a split sunset, a rare sunset phenomenon witnessed in North Carolina.
40. Brothers
For this capybara, the cat is his brother. Nothing can change his mind or his feelings for his sibling.
41. Being a mother
This mother hen took the kittens under her care during a storm. She did her best to keep them warm and safe as the storm passed.
42. A hero
This firefighter risked his life to save the poor kitten. It just proves that even tiny lives matter.
43. For free
He’s helping random people learn mathematics for free. By doing that, he’s teaching people more than just math lessons; he’s also teaching them to be good and kind humans in the process.
44. Good boy
This dog is deaf so he can’t hear his human say that he’s a good boy. Fortunately, he was able to understand whenever his human sign “good boy” to him. Just look at how his face lit up after the sign!
45. “Mom”
The dog’s name is Suzie and she’s the best mom for these two adorable kittens. Just look at how she’s lovingly protecting them.
46. Under the rain
Standing under the rain without an umbrella can make you sick. This kid didn’t want his friend to get ill so he tried his best to keep him dry while it’s raining.
47. A food pantry
Good people exist and they are the ones who made this community food pantry possible. There’ll be less hungry people in this area- that’s for sure.
48. The wedding ring
The man lost his wedding ring at sea just a month after his wedding. Thankfully, the other guy found it after 10 days.
49. Her baby
After this dog experienced a false pregnancy, her human got her a puppy. Ever since they met, the German Shepherd considered the puppy her own. The puppy, meanwhile, thinks she’s her mom.
50. Family
Being family doesn’t mean you need to belong to the same breed or be the same species. You can consider each family if you feel that way for each other. That’s the important lesson we can learn from this duo.
