I love finding new under-valued Steemians and this contest is a great excuse to find fabulous bloggers whose post aren't getting the attention they deserve. In case you aren't aware, the Pay It Forward Curation Contest is a weekly challenge from @thedarkhorse to find bloggers to promote.
I was disappointed yesterday. I found a blogger that I really wanted to feature, but she didn't source her images! I pointed out the error in a comment including the fact that I wanted to curate her! I don't know, maybe she didn't understand, but she "got the message" in her reply comment, but didn't correct it. I love to curate your high-quality posts, people! But if you don't source your photos or use non-free images, I can't!
Anyway, on to this week's selections!
Selection #1 - @tdas0
https://steemit.com/ants/@tdas0/ants-teaches-us-to-be-hard-working
You don't have to like ants to recognize that these are pretty good images and a great article. He's sourced everything fairly well and all the macro shots are his own.
When I look further down his blog, I see that this isn't the only post of its caliber. He loves to show us his life, full of images that he's taken himself.
@tdas0 is worthy of our support and I'd love to see people showing him plenty of love this week!
Selection #2 - @matthewthonyit
What an excellent and well-illustrated article about how to feed your rabbits greens without killing them! (I did lose a rabbit once to too many greens at once.) He takes us along for the ride as he finds plenty of greens for his rabbits.
When I look further down his blog, I see that he loves his rabbits and shares a lot about them as well as his life in general. I love getting to see glimpses of other people's lives - especially when they live on the other side of the planet!
@matthewthonyit is definitely worthy of our support. Let's give him some love!
Bonus Selection - a Witness we support - @arcange
I first became aware of @arcange when he posted a warning on my post or someone else's post making sure that we didn't become the latest victims of a known scammer/spammer.
This guy tirelessly exposes scammers and helps protect so many from harm.
This is why @arcange became one of the first recipients of my witness votes!
I can't wait to see who other entrants have voted for and why since I still have a few votes to bestow.
That's it from me this week - please check out this awesome contest. It's so much fun!!! (Not to mention the constantly-improving prizes!)
Note: all images from the linked blogs and remain property of the blogger mentioned!

Thanks @viking-ventures.
It's pleasure to me. I just join in steemit 25 days ago.
Many people just say me "What you will do by capture those insects or other small particle." I hope I got the perfect place to introduce my caption.
Thanks again.

Yes, Steemit is the perfect place to post these things! Keep up the great work!
Nice. I'll check out your candidates. :-)
Thank you!
Great entry and I enjoyed reading your selections, thank you!
Awesome entry! keep sharing through eSteem! :D
Thanks so much for your support!
Thank you for your entry. As always great pics and they have been upvoted. Will look further into @arcange as I don't think they are one of my current witnesses. Have 3 open slots right now.
Thanks! I'm glad I was able to introduce you to a new potential witness. I'm looking forward to filling a couple more of my slots too.
How Can I submit article for your contest? I mean how my article will get nomination? By your discord channel?
You don't submit an article, rather you find people to curate (promote). That's what this contest is. If you click/tap through to the Pay it Forward contest then you can see how to enter your own curation post. (For me, it's one of my favorite posts of my week!)
Congrats for another entry.. Will check it later...Good to see you featured @arcange..
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
@viking-ventures, love this! I like the fact you included the spammer dude. That really is helpful because it can be hard to traverse Steemit and know what's up! I also love the rabbit post and ants...well ants are just unbelievably interesting to me. Thanks for this!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! And yes, the "spammer dude" (I don't know if @arcange follows all his mentions or not) is definitely awesome. :-)
All really deserving steemians you showcased here. And your witness choice too is well made. @arcange does such a selfless job
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I agree about @arcange!
Great entries @viking-ventures....but you know that LOL. Commented and upvoted each of them.
Great entries @viking-ventures....but you know that LOL. Commented and upvoted each of them. I always wonder what you're going to come up with next 😎
Thank you! I also wonder what I'm going to come up with next!
@viking-ventures hmmm I think you need to find a ....VIKING LOL
Dear @viking-ventures, please apologize for being late to pop out here. I have been quite busy with the SteemitBoard World Cup Contest.
Thank you so much for mentioning me and my work. This is really appreciated!
I really love what you are doing too and wish you success on Steemit. Take care!
Thank you so much for stopping by. I don't think we've had a conversation before other than your tireless work to put an end to spammers. So, I really do appreciate you taking time to stop and comment!
Thanks to this contest, I've been able to add two more names for my Witness list this week. I still need a few more, but I'm getting there!
Thanks also for the well-wishes, I return the same.
I haven't checked out your contest. I'm not following the World Cup too closely, but I should probably look in at some point.
