A mushroom with drops of “sweat”.
These drops are secretion of moisture from the mushroom in contradiction
of raindrops. The fenomenon is called “guttation” and happens when a
mushroom, during growth, soaks up a lot of moisture and has to get rid
of the surplus of water. This resulting in the drops, which can have a
special colour because of the characteristics of the mushroom.

Water springs out of the Mulberry tree at Dinoša, Montenegro.
For the
last two decades, during the spring floods, the water has been running
out of this old mulberry tree in a village of Dinoša in Montenegro.

Honduran white bats! They make a tent by chewing the leaf to cause it to
collapse downward like that, and then huddle up together inside to
roost.

She spent two years in a tree to avoid it being cut

The year was 1997 and a woman, who at the time was 23, decided to
save Luna, a redwood tree 60 meters high and over 500 years. That
December 10, Julia turned that tree in her home for two years, changing
her life forever.

Over a thousand rings had the trunk of Luna when a chainsaw wanted to
cut it through. Fortunately, the fate of this twisted tree. A young
butterfly alighted on it and spent 738 days in its branches forcing the
company Pacific Lumber to suspend cutting this and other forest trees
from Stanford, California.

December 10th, 1997, Julia climbed the tree. Her new home was located
now at 50 meters. In 3 square meters Julia placed everything she
needed: a canvas, its walls; a small stove, the kitchen; a bucket with a
sealed bag, bathroom and a sponge (to collect rainwater), her shower.

Her case became known in the world and eight days after they were
fulfilled two years of her stay in the tree, Julia put her feet on
earth.

The company assumed responsibility for environmental policy to include in future work that was performed.

Today, Julia is still involved in environmental commitments. She helped create the NGO “Circle of Life”

Evening at wurlsee, uckermark.

A Forest Service worker photographed a

He said there is no filter on the photo, rather, the fire is so hot this
is its actual color. From here.
