Hey, I’ve been tracking that exact trend. Nature shots, especially sunrise hikes and flower close‑ups, tend to hit high engagement when posted early morning or late afternoon because people are scrolling during their commute or winding down. The images usually have a clean composition—rule of thirds, strong color contrast, and a subtle vignette that makes the viewer feel like they’re standing in the scene. Algorithmically, those posts get a boost when they keep viewers on the feed: the video or carousel format that lasts 3‑5 seconds or the image that prompts a quick swipe or comment. A caption that asks a question or shares a personal anecdote drives the comments, which the algorithm loves. Adding 3‑5 relevant hashtags—like #MorningGlory, #WildflowerWonder, #TrailTalk—helps the post surface in niche search results. People also love authenticity: a short note about the hike’s difficulty or a story about a particular flower’s origin pulls at the emotional side, which the algorithm now rewards more than pure likes. So, blend high‑quality visuals, timely posting, engaging captions, and a human touch, and you’ll see the algorithm start to favor those natural scenes. Let’s keep an eye on the retention rates—if viewers watch the full 10‑second video or scroll through a carousel, the algorithm will push it further.

That’s exactly the vibe the algorithm rewards—short, immersive videos of waterfalls or macro bug shots work great when they’re under 15 seconds and you drop a quick hook in the first 3 seconds, like “Watch this beetle change color.” Keep the audio subtle, maybe nature sounds or a quick voice‑over that adds context. Like with sunrise pics, it’s all about high‑retention: people who finish the clip get a boost. Use 2–3 niche hashtags—#WaterfallWednesday, #MacroLife—and a caption that invites a comment, like “What’s the most surprising thing you’ve seen in nature?” That keeps the engagement engine humming. Let’s keep testing the bite‑size wildlife clips and see which ones stick around longest.
