I am glad to quickly introduce myself and forthwith note down a few things to know about myself as i start my steemit life today.
My name is Imede Mirrors. I am from Uganda. I am in my final year at University, studying a Bachelor of Tourism.
So i am so much drawn to tourism and travel attractions, and will be writing a lot on the same. I also love to read, mostly about nature and life.
So i guess that brings me back to tours and travels. But i am comfortable reading pretty much about anything. And occasionally indulge myself in some poetry writing. Not the besy of my works, admittedly, but often a outlet for me to express my feelings.
Here i come aboard, long over due,
But here now to be and always
To post about this and that,
Photos and Art, and Poems
To tell of safaris and the wild,
To impress, so to here and there,
make friends, and get upvotes,
But always to express,
So to free my insides
Into steem oceans
I am naturally endeared toward photography and wild life and Art.
Speaking of Art, i actually majored in Fine Art during Secondary school years, but i guess i am not very good at it. Still, i will be doing some 'tryings', and once in a while indulging myself making some drawings, for leisure and time-passing i guess.
Overall, i spend much of my time visiting places, especially wild animal reserves, and taking photographs.
To give you a peek into some of my photos, here is a photo of the Crested Crane, Uganda's national bird. I took on 23th/03/2018 at Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre (Entebbe Zoo).
It is a zoo located at, and only about 10-15 minute drive from Entebbe international Airport, 36 km from Kampala, Uganda’s capital city
I have been a while into photography, and i understand something about copyright.
In the last three days after i signed up and waited for my account to be approved, i took time to view and read through a number of posts, particularly under the photography and color challenge sections.
I found a lot of emphasis and demand on originality and image rights. my personal opinion is that this is very important as a lot of people have the habit, unknowingly, of copyright infringement.
I take photographs a lot, and whereas i have not until now been actively uploading them on line, i see steemit becoming my photo outlet channel.
It is in this respect that i find myself entirely in agreement with the need to retain the right to my photos.
In the same spirit therefore, and to avoid infringing on others, i will only just occasionally, if and when i must, be borrowing exceptional photos and crediting the owners, but much of the time, and i hope all the time, i will be using my own photos, my own pieces of art.
I am, for lack of words, very excited about the free opportunity steemit offers, for me to earn leisurely! I can't wait to start posting as much as i can, and making many new friends in Uganda, Africa, Europe, and the world over.

Thanks for the warm welcome
Hey girl, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and you rock and you are beautiful hehe.
Thanks @joeyrnoldvn. Glad to make your acquaintance. And you have taste! lol.
I think you have amazing taste too. Glad to know you.
Pleasure is mine. Thanks
And here I am!! Once again, welcome to Steemit!! I hope you enjoy your time here. Write about your passions and itll come through in your writings. Looking forward to learning more about you! :)
Thanks for the support @smylie2005. I too can't wait to share with you all. You i already feel like i have known you, and the likes of @simplymike for a lifetime! Such is how comfortable you have all made me. I am grateful.
That’s how it is for all of us, @mirrors. Three months ago, I was drifting solo on the big SteemIt ocean. Then, I came across the people of @newbieresteemday, and now it feels like I’ve known them for ages. Although I’ve never met them, I can honestly say I think about them as my friends. (If you would have told me six months ago that I would consider a bunch of people I would meet online as my friends, I would have said you were out of your mind, lol).
Truth! Really, @newbieresteemday was a Steemit life changer for me! You guys are amazing at making a girl feel welcome and I consider myself lucky to a part of such an awesome group of people!
I hear ya girl! Thats the way it is for all of us. We are happy to have you here! Just return that favor for other people and pass on the blessings!
That i will, gladly.
Welcome to Steemit! Looking forward to reading more of your posts!
Good to have you here, hope you have fun, enjoy steemit
I am looking forward to that fun, @djazzman. Thanks
Welcome! Great name, too 🙂
I am honored, @malloryblythe. My name, lol., that they say of it. Thanks. I see from your blog, you also only recently joined. And i think you are already, comparatively doing great. I should be able to learn from you.
I’ve done alright! Any questions you have, I’m happy to answer.
I will gladly come in whenever. Thanks.
Wow... you're a very good writer... Beautiful and Brainy... welcome to steemit... you have my upvote
Thanks for the warm welcome, @sparrowbernard.
Hello and welcome to steemit. I'm a cohort of the newbieresteemday group, so I am one of those people you can safely ask questions of. I think you may be one of the first people I have met from Uganda on steemit, I have met several from Nigeria, most all of which are very nice people. I had to look on google maps to see where Uganda was, even though I have seen films featuring Uganda, and have heard it mentioned in the news off and on over the last decade or two, I really did not know what part of Africa it was in. So I learned something new today because of you. Thank you, and will be looking over your blog the next couple of days.
Thanks for the warm welcome, @bashadow.
Uganda is a beautiful country, christened and popularized as the 'pearl of Africa' by former US statesman, Winston Churchill in his 1908 Book entitled “My African Journey” .
Nigerians, and overall West Africa's are really many here on steemit. I think they are doing a great job promoting the platform. I hope once i am settled, i can catch up with my East/sub-saharan friends to see how we can also promote and popularize it.
There may already be initiatives to the same, end, i just don;t know yet. but either way, i hope i can start/join in promoting this wonderful platform.
Again, welcome @mirror! you are indeed starting out on the platform with a clean slate. It's great that you took the time to read and study the content that's already been posted. That put you one step ahead of the game. I'm glad to see that you love photography and animals because that's among my favorite! I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit for what you've already learned and for the interesting area in which you will be photographing and journaling. I love poetry too! And we are going to start curating some Freewriter's poetry soon. Have a wonderful day!
You all have made it easy fore me to settle in. I am very grateful. No more tensions, and then, my expectations, high as they are, are at least in check. There is a whole lot of community to know, above else.
Its an honor coming from someone who has been around some-while. I can only say that i am much encouraged. Above else, especially by the friendships i have already, and continue to make. And then for the experience so many wonderful people here have taken me through.
It is my pleasure. You will find a lot of talent and perseverance from those who have stuck it out through the early phases. I haven't forgotten the penny posts and I still don't make a lot, but what I have found is a place for my passion and a community of support + and audience for my idiocintricities. Haha!
True. And true. Thanks. I will just focus on the community first. You should know i am already making loads of friends. In just the last 24 hours of activity, i have made so many acquaintances. Thanks again.
That's awesome and I celebrate with your success, Dear. <3
are you familiar with the parable of rachel....the story of waiting for the worthy one, well if you are.....you're worth waiting for :)
Wao, i am humbled by your glowing praise @dj123, very humbled. Also challenged, pleasantly, that is.
And yes, i am familiar with the Rachael - Jacob story.
The Holy |Bible, Genesis 29:20
And for the love he had had for Rachael, all these while, the years seemed unto Jacob but only a few days, a trifle compared to the wonder he obtained thereby....
It is one of those most powerful stories in the bible of long suffering finally rewarded, as Jacob patiently, and non begrudgingly working for, awaits for Rachael, till the final completion of his sincere love through consummation.
And i am too? Don't spoil me @dj123! hahahah. Just know I am glad, honored, and happy -all sorts happy emotions. You are a good, and very supportive friend @dj123. I will remember this!
in case you didn't know, jaci's secret to keeping rachel sassi all these year while she also waited anticipatingly......he friendzone her lol
like i said.....funny fiends like you are worthy of the wait, i hangout at #comedyopenmic, go browse around it's got many worthy rib ticklers there too ;)
Welcome to Steemit @mirrors :)
Belated! lol
I am already running around here!
Thanks @lighteye, very.
Thanks for the warm welcome, and offer for guidance.
