We build cities to create spaces for living and working, but all of that concrete distances us from the natural world. So, to remind themselves that they're part of something bigger, members of the subreddit 'Nature is Freaking Lit' are sharing pictures from green forests and blue seas. Whether it's a candid snapshot of a snake or a National Geographic-level close-up of an insect, they definitely inspire others to reconnect with the environment.

Behold the Lilac-Breasted Rolle.
Scientific Name: Coracias caudatus Country, Continent: Eastern and Southern Africa Habitat: Savannas and Open Woodlands
The lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African bird of the roller family, Coraciidae. It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa, and is a vagrant to the southern Arabian Peninsula. It prefers open woodland and savanna, and it is for the most part absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, amphibians and small birds moving about on the ground.
This species is unofficially considered the national bird of Kenya. Alternative names for the lilac-breasted roller include the fork-tailed roller, lilac-throated roller (also used for a subspecies of purple roller) and Mosilikatze's roller.

🔥 Once In A Lifetime Capture
Photo Credit: Prasenjeet Yadav.
From the photographer's IG: "This is definitely one of the most memorable shot I have ever taken and also the first image that NG published back in 2016!! This GreenMeteor was captured while taking a time-lapse to document the urbanization around the Skyislands southern in India. The camera was set at 15s exposure for 999 shots and this came into one of those shots. Green Meteor’s greenish color come from a combination of the heating of oxygen around the meteor and the mix of minerals ignited as the rock enters Earth's atmosphere"
I had the wonderful good fortune to catch a green meteor fireball from my back porch. It seemed so close, as if it were a mere couple of miles away, but I think that might have been an optical illusion. I don't know if it consisted of magnesium or nickel since both elements burn green. It was spectacular.
