If forests and woodlands are your thing, and you grew up reading books by Beatrix Potter and believing that fairies possibly (probably) dwell in the forests, have a look at the photos below. They are beautiful photos of the animals that live in woodlands, and these nature photographers really captured the magical feelings of the forests. If you're after some more beautiful nature photography, have a look at these whimsical photos of squirrels.

Rare animals are... well, rare to come by. And this golden penguin is no exception! One wildlife photographer, Yves Adams, has won nature's lottery by being the first to spot and capture a never-before-seen yellow penguin. The penguin is a King penguin, potentially the very first of its kind.
Yves Adams believes that the yellow penguin spotted on an island in South Georgia is leucistic. Leucism is a condition that results in the partial loss of pigmentation. Whereas albinism is the absence of melanin, leucism is only partial, which can make the animal have white or patchy colored skin, feathers, or hair.
In an interview with the Independent, Yves Adams had this to say about the rare and unique moment he first spotted the yellow penguin, "I'd never seen or heard of a yellow penguin before. There were 120,000 birds on that beach, and this was the only yellow one there. They all looked normal except for this one. It really was something else. It was an incredibly unique experience. One of the birds looked really strange, and when I looked closer it was yellow. We all went crazy when we realized. We dropped all the safety equipment and grabbed our cameras."
Adams continued, "We were so lucky the bird landed right where we were. Our view wasn't blocked by a sea of massive animals. Normally it's almost impossible to move on this beach because of them all. It was heaven that he landed by us. If it had been 50 metres away, we wouldn't have been able to get this show of a lifetime."
This isn't the first time we've seen rare golden animals out in the wild, but it is the very first golden penguin!

New York photographer Sophie Gamand, started the project Pit Bull Flower Power in 2014. She's been traveling around the United States taking pictures of pit bulls in shelters that are in need of adoption. As many are aware, the image of the pit bull has been tarnished by society, labeled as aggressive and hateful. And as a result of such labeling, they often end up abused, abandoned, and end up in shelters for the rest of their lives.
Sophie's mission is to destroy that negative image of the pit bull but taking beautiful portraits of them in flower crowns. Flower crowns and a soft light to help soften their image and show the world the truth of their beauty and kindness. With each portrait, comes a story about the poor pup in need and she has completely changed their fate.
Thank you, Sophie Gamand!
Behold, the band that the world loves to hate the most! We've gotta admit, some of these memes are pretty mean, but they're also dang funny. Disclaimer: if you're an actual Nickelback fan, we don't hate you - we just gotta capitalize on the hilarity that is Nickelback!
Christian Vieler from Germany is a professional dog photographer since 2016. He came up with the idea of testing dog Concentration by snapping pairs of dogs catching treats simultaneously.

The final frontier, now in full color.
NASA did a real solid the other day, when they uploaded thousands of pictures from the Apollo missions to Flickr. The beautiful collections show the breathtaking awe that exists in some of humankind's greatest technological achievements.
But one Redditor didn't think they looked quite right. I mean, the photos were taken 50 some odd years ago.
So jdreier decided to take a crack at color correcting a few of them. And the results are just stunning.
Well, the pictures are stunning anyway, but now they're more stunning.
He posted them to his Imgur page, where he described his efforts as such:
I took the liberty to color correct a few. Note, i've never been to space, so I don't know exactly how things look like out there. These are corrected purely on aesthetics.
And then later on his Reddit post, he made sure the astronauts got as much credit as possible.
The astronauts at NASA deserve all the credit for taking such amazing photos. I merely retouched a few photos while staying up late at night.
Thank you, sir. Your efforts are very appreciated.
