Nature never ceases to amaze us.
For many of us, time spent outdoors is a true therapy for the body and soul. The breeze, the fresh air that the trees bring into our lungs, and the stunning colors provide us with an incredible experience that helps us relax and recharge for the rest of the week.
Kym Beechey, a woman from Australia, loves to spend her days in the midst of nature. She appreciates the beauty of landscapes and never misses an opportunity to photograph the spectacular places she happens upon.
One day, while walking through the forest, she noticed what appeared to be a tawny frogmouth chick — a bird that resembles an owl.
She immediately took out her phone to snap a picture of the “sweet” bird. However, when she zoomed in, she realized it was not a bird at all, but a banksia cone — strange and amusing capsules that grow on banksia trees and have a completely unique appearance.
These trees primarily grow in the southwest of Australia, but can also be found in New Zealand or Papua New Guinea. Their cones are often compared to those of pines.
Interestingly, these capsules often open during bushfires, releasing their seeds at that moment.
After realizing the “confusion,” Kym laughed heartily and decided to share the photo with her friends so that others could enjoy this amusing incident.
Did it fool you too?
