Hello Nature Lovers !
I would like to cordially invite you to another great week of the Amazing Nature Contest. There were already so many excellent entries regarding how amazing nature is in the past episodes, thanks to all of you, but there is still so much more to see! ^^ To participate in the #amazingnature contest just write up a post and explain how amazing nature is for you personally ^^
What is the Purpose of the Contest ?
I am a huge nature-lover and really enjoy taking pictures of all the lovely things that surround me every day, no matter if plants, animals or landscapes. Hive is a brilliant place to watch these while simultaneously reading and learning about nature from all over the world. There is such a diversity of great content, thanks to all of you, from different perspectives and out of various motivations. This contest attempts to collect all those beautiful snapshots and their amazing stories in a weekly compilation so that you all can benefit from the beauty that we are facing all the time, but so often are not able to appreciate in the modern and fast paced times we are living in.
#amazingnature is at home in the DNA-Discord, a organization run by people for the people, with the aim to foster and densify nature-appreciation in the blockchain. DNA is also the home of the #aquaticsentinels, the #featheredfriends, the @fungilovers and the #insectsoftheworld communities.
Contest Rules :
- POST your entry INTO the AMAZING NATURE COMMUNITY. You can also use the #amazingnature TAG if you like to ^^
- CLEARLY MENTION that your post is an ENTRY for this contest.
- All pictures have to be your own. You can use the amazing nature banner if you like or create your own.
- STATE IN THE TEXT why those pictures are representing YOUR AMAZING NATURE. This is an ESSENTIAL part of this contest; 400 words minimum (per language) !
- Drop the LINK to your post IN THE COMMENTS. You can add a picture if you like. It is NECESSARY as I have to post a link in Discord on Friday, 5 days later for voting and also for my own compiling purposes.
- The entry window is open for ~ 5 DAYS. Watch out for the -CLOSED in the title.
If you miss the entry, please wait for the next round. As I have to work and also to manage a family there are no fixed UTC times.The window can open in a wide range between 10 am - 10 pm and also close accordingly ^^
- The AMAZING NATURE COMMUNITY is there FOR ALL POSTS ABOUT THE AMAZING NATURE AROUND YOU. We would highly appreciate it if you share your great nature content there with us! .. The contest is located there as an integrated part and special community feature ^^ It also features the Amazing Nature Challenge with weekly changing topic (@bucipuci) and various Curation Reports (@nelinoeva, @redheadpei, @jlufer, @oscurity) !
Possible Topics :
As nature covers an incredible wide range there is really anything possible. Amazing Natures categories could be anything from the following topics:
- Botany
- Zoology
- Geology
- Landscapes
- Philosophy
- ... Surprise us ^^
Prizes to Win :
- 1st : 1 HBD
- 2st : 0.5 HBD
- 3st : 0.25 HBD
I will present all participants in the entries section of the announcement posts that will be published roughly one week later on Sunday (depending on my time schedule this may shift ^^). This way you will have a nice compilation of them all. The number of winning places is adaptable and differs by the number of participants to keep a 50% winner limit (1 to 3 - one place, 4 to 6 - two places, 6 or more - full podium). As an special feature, the new title picture will be created from the entry of the contest winner. This time it is from @kohsamui99.
How are the Winners chosen ?
The voting on the winners will be done by the whole DNA community. Therefore we created a special contest channel in the DNA Discord (Amazing Nature Contest). Here I will post the announcement post including the winners (Announcements) EACH SUNDAY together with all your entries (Entries) EACH FRIDAY. Every member of DNA will be able to assign "voting emojis" under the entries for 24 HOURS. In the end those three with the most are the lucky winners. I will engage as a judge in case of a draw ^^
THIS WEEKS WINNERS
The winner of this weeks contest round was chosen to be @kohsamui99 with his entry about a visit with his cousin to the Red Rock Canyon in Nevada, USA from about 4 years ago. These red rocks are as high as 1,800 feet, and the whole Red Rock Canyon was was the first National Conservation Area in Nevada, which spans over more than 195,000 acres of towering red rock sandstone peaks, and ancient petroglyphs ^^ .. Thank you for showing us this beautiful area ;)

In the entry from @nelinoeva we get to see a moth that is so well camouflaged that it is really hard to detect with the eye. In addition she shows us a toad that was fitting equally to his environment ^^ .. Thank you for showing this two little fellows to us, which give there best to stay undetected by their surroundings ;)

@nelinoeva
The entry from @jude.villarta leads us to the absolutely beautiful garden of her aunt, that nearly looks like an own paradise-like forest, with koi fish, lot of plants and birds all around. Seeing this place directly lets me believe that being there must feel like you entered a different world, hehe .. Thank you so much for showing us this really admirable place ^^

DNA is an organization to foster and DENSIFY NATURE-APPRECIATION which aims to establish REPORTS OF BIODIVERSITY DATA that is contributed by all of us Hiveans and subsequently cataloged.
Therefore DNA searches for HIGH-QUALITY posts that aim to DESCRIBE and determine the BIODIVERSITY AROUND YOU with added EXPLANATIONS and INFORMATION. For these informative posts they offer a CURATION SERVICE using the @dna.org account. It is also a CURATION TRAIL. Just add the #dna TAG if you think that any of your posts is what they are looking for.
At the moment DNA is the home of #amazingnature for all your post about the amazing nature all around us, the #aquaticsentinels for all your posts about marine topics, the #featheredfriends for all you great posts about our feathered friends, the #fungifriday for all your posts about fungi and mushrooms and the #insectsoftheworld for all posts about the world of insects ^^ But we hope that more nature related communities will join, or maybe some Hiveans start their own little project there ;) .. Maybe even you?

It was a nice entry @nelinoeva .. never seen such a well hidden moth before .. I wonder that you discovered it .. you have some good eyes, hehe 🧐
Actually a mate from work found it and showed it to me. I will probably miss to see it. 😀
Haha, I would have missed it too 😅 .. but my son has good eyes in discovering things like these .. hmm, I really would love to see the world through the eyes of children again .. everything is far more magical in a way 😄
Aww, he must be like you, excited about the new discoveries.
I feel like a child every time I see something new. 😀

Such a small trifle. When writing and publishing this article, you "forgot to switch" to ANC :-).
Damage. Otherwise, this article would get my 100% upvote.
Oh, now that you say it @bucipuci, I see it too 🤣 .. I already made one or two publishing mixups, but they were one time forgetting to publish a post within the community directly and one time from my private account, but that's a long time ago .. that it becomes a cross community one is even new for me 🙃 .. now I have a Bingo, covering them all ^^
It has already happened to me :-).
I registered this article thanks to your 'reblog' :-)
