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 can be in the past episodes and there is still so much more to see ^^ .. To participate in #amazingnature just create a post that shows how amazing nature is for you personally. This can be anything from a beautiful flower or animal to an astonishing sunset.
What is the Purpose of the Contest ?
I am a huge lover of nature and really enjoy to take pictures of all the lovely things that surround me every day, no matter if those are plants, animals or landscapes. I found Steemit to be a brilliant place to find and watch nature pictures from all over the world. There is such a diversity of great content out there, thanks to all of you, from different perspectives and out of various motivations. I would like to collect all those beautiful snapshots and their amazing stories in a weekly compilation so that you can all benefit from the beauty that we are facing all the time, but so often are not able to appreciate in the modern times we are living in.
Contest Rules :
As this is a proper contest be so kind and follow those simple contest rules. Otherwise, to stay fair to those who do, I have to disqualify you from the winning places !
Use #amazingnature as FIRST TAG and topic of the post and CLEARLY MENTION that your post is an ENTRY for this contest. This assures that this contest can grow and reach out to as many nature lovers as possible.
All pictures that you use in your post have to be your own. You can use the amazing nature banner if you like or create your own.
Clearly STATE why those pictures are representing YOUR AMAZING NATURE. This is an essential part of this contest.
Drop the LINK to your post IN THE COMMENTS below so all participants can find it easily and fully enjoy this weekly collection. You can add a picture if you like.
Please submit only one post per contest. Of course you can do more, but I will stick to one entry per Steemian.

I will always try my best to link and present all participants of Amazing Nature in the entries section of the announcement posts that will be published roughly one week later during the weekend. This way you will have a nice compilation of them all. As an special feature, the new title picture of the contest will be created from the entry of the contest winner. This time it is from @akinome.
THIS WEEKS WINNERS
He we have some photographs by @akinome, who enters this contest for the first time. He writes that at first sight during autumn it seems to be that everything is gray in gray and there seems to be nothing to take photographs, but if you look more closely you start to see true beauties. In his post he shows us that there is beauty to find indeed, by selecting six beautiful macro photography pictures for us to admire ^^
The beauty of nature can be found in every little detail. For this weeks entry @brittandjosie went outside and discovered this beautiful opportunity for picturing some great water droplets as it was misty and there was dew to find everywhere. Thank you for this watery entry ^^
This picture here was taken by @davidesmoncini. For this picture he specially took a bike tour to the countryside set between 2 more imposing neighboring urban centers, Sarzana and Carrara zone in Italy. This view represents his private exceptionality of nature and the mountains on the background make him think of how it's possible to find and preserve segments of nature even near areas heavily reworked by man. If you are interested in great landscape pictures or cycling, this steemians blog is definitely worth a visit.
This weeks feature is about @papilloncharity. I noticed him due to this amazing firefly, but he has a lot of great nature post already. I especially love his great macros. Here he shows us a smiling dragonfly that was named "HeliCop". The "Heli" part of his name is thus related to Helicopter and the "Cop" part is because the big eyes across the top of his head look like a traffic cop's helmet Lol. This one looks like he is smiling at him ^^.
I thank all of you who participated in this week and hope that you enjoyed the Amazing Nature Contest. I am also looking forward to more excellent content to come and the start of a nice new Nature community. Of course the format is open for all kind of critics that can increase the quality of the contest and I am always happy about anyone who wants to join us on this little adventure.
If you want me to take you out of the list, or if you don't want your picture, in the case you are the winner, to be used as a new title picture, just let me know it in the comments.
Best wishes,
Adalge
