Miracle berry (Synsepalum dulcificum) on a simpur leaf (Dillenia suffruticosa). This bright red delicious berry is miraculous as it can change the perception of your tastebud. when it is consume and the fleshy part of the berry is rub onto the surface of the tongue, the glycoprotein molecule called miraculin will binds and blocks the receptor, however any food that has low ph or sour the miraculin will activate and supercharge the sweet receptors. So any sour food that you eat will taste incredibly sweet. MAGIC!!

The photo submitted was a view of Mt. Makiling in Laguna, Philippines and taken back in 2018. Mt. Makiling is one of the amazing volcanoes in the Philippines, and is currently an inactive stratovolcano. This landform is famous for its legend among the locals. The story was about a woman named Maria Makiling that was sent down to Earth by the gods to help the people of the land in their daily life. This story was passed down for generations as Mt. Makiling looks like a woman in a deep slumber from a view above.

I'm a Filmmaker. Every time I make films, I involve myself with nature. The unpredictable, beautiful, mysterious nature. The shots from this film in particular was special. A story of hope in the midst of hardship, that's why I name this piece "Ma'un". Which means "Rise" in the Kayan language.

The photo submitted was a view of the grand design of one of its accommodation structures, bridging structure and river system in King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), and taken back in 2017. King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia is one of the fast-growing, private research university, and first mixed-gender university campus in Saudi Arabia. The University was made to satisfy the needs and wants of the students and staff, both locals and internationals. I was personally awed by how the university was built, and how they maintained the water flowing in their river system and the methods of growing various plants and trees around the campus.

got wind, got water, got earth. I think okay la 🍃💧🌿 enjoy this nice stream of teh c 😊

'Twas like a dream. A dream in which I was still little, standing in front of a vast field blanketed in golden flowers as far as the eyes could behold.
As my journey to the rural part of Western Australia progressed deeper, the scenery began to be slowly covered with the fields of yellow Canola. The amalgamation of the flowers before their harvest was so aureate that it was truly a lovely sight to behold. Regardless from the aerial or from the land, the view of the golden land would rejoice the heart of any person who passed by. Staring at it, gazing at it, the time continued to slowly drift away. However, such a view was a timeless pleasure to reminisce that would never end.

Arriving at the boundary of an island, we were quite thrilled with the view and also the refreshing sea breeze. Though the sun may not be visible at the moment, bear in mind that it will always be blessing us with its dazzling rays of happiness. Sailing near the mossy shore while listening to the splashing sounds of the waves against the rocks would be a tantalizing experience at this place. However, we were not blessed with the opportunity at the moment and so we could only relax on the rocky shore and look for spots with no moss to sit on. Still, it was a very fulfilling experience for us all that day.

Look deep into nature and then you will understand better. Life is too short, explore and travel to the places that you’ve never been. Live your life to the fullest and do not give up because you do not know what the world can offers you. There’s more than what you imagine.

Monstera deliciosa borsigiana, directly translated as the delicious monster. This plant is native to southern Mexico to southern Colombia , but introduced to many tropical areas all over the world and to some places like Hawaii it is mildly invasive. the reason why it is called the delicious monster is due to fruit it produce is said to be very delicious with the taste of a pineapple and a texture of banana. However, both parts of the plant and the fruit are toxic to humans and most animals(especially dogs and cats). To consume the delicious fruit some further steps of ripening have to be done. Most avid plant lovers love this plant as an indoor plant as it is very resilient and only needs low light to survive, but beware of this beautiful plant and its delicious fruit as it can be lethal!

Nature’s Lullaby

To be on top of the mountain, to be distant from the city,
Climb the mountain not to place the flag, but for relaxation and behold the view.

“Being able to smell the fresh air and disconnect from the news and your phone — there’s nothing like it.”

Cruising on the pristine blue waters that glistened under the sunset, I stared in awe at the bright ball of light that made its presence clear with its radiance. We were reminded that dusk is here and the curtains are closing for the day. We reminisce along with the strange mood at that moment while moving along with wherever the waves took us. The feeling of witnessing this amazing sight was more overwhelming than expected and we were quite mesmerized by the scenery that came after. After hours of cruising, we finally ended the relatively short ocean journey with the slumber of the sun. We told ourselves that we would hold this moment deeply in our hearts for as long as we can

Nature has always been one of the best people in my life. The one who understands my silence, the one who listens to my struggles without judgement and the one who gives me peace even when I never asked for it. 20 years of living as I surround myself with nature, she has given the very best version every single day, inspiring her beauty to the ones who forgot what true beauty really means.
