#Day #71 and here I am having more FUN than ever on the HiveBlockchain in the I am ALIVE Challenge community

So one thing that I have realised in the past week or so, is the fact that all of us #Hiveans around the world must be such observant people.

When you think about all of the fun, but unique, slightly off- kilter, left of centre contests, initiatives and challenges that we all participate in on a daily basis which serve to remind us- to look up, look down, to look at shadows, reflections, look closely, look wide, photos, write, look around us everywhere to see the seen and unseen things of this magnificent #MotherEarth, to look for them, to interpret them, to share them and to appreciate them.

Communities such as #LoveTheClouds from Hive account@tobetada teaches us to look up and see the beauty in the sky- whether it be clouds, sunsets, crystal clear blue days, dark stormy days, full of birds, pink elephants, planes, trains and automobiles- it doesn't matter, simply having a community on the #Hive dedicated to encouraging us to look up, is truly a wonderful thing.

And in fact, #LoveTheClouds community has just announced the new Welcome To The 'Love The Clouds' Contest! #88 -- 100% Hive Prize Pool!
And all you have to do to enter it is to share a Obviously the contest is all about Clouds: You can draw, take a picture or use any other kind of medium to portray clouds in any form or manner! I want to stress again that this contest is not strictly a photography contest! Artists of all paths are welcome 😊 So check out the details here so you can see just what you need to do. @tobetada/welcome-to-the-love-the-clouds-contest-88-100-hive-prize-pool

And then there's another fantastic contest that makes you look at something that you probably haven't intentionally looked since you were a child playing shadow shapes on your bedroom the wall..and that is the #ShadowHunters contest in the #shadowHunters community by Hive account@melinda010100 and Hive account@barbara-orenya- Did you even know that there is a Shadow Hunters community on the #Hive huh?

So Show us your best shadow photo this week! They can be shadows of anything- be creative and focus on the shadow!
Let's go Shadow Hunting! and Remember to keep the main focus of your picture on the shadow! After all, this is a shadow contest.

Here Are The Rules: One submission per person! Be fair to everyone and do not enter from more than one account

Any upvotes and resteems of any of the entries are appreciated! And This week will be Show Me A Shadow.
The always wonderful and very talented Shadow Hunter Hive account@annephilbrick will be our judge this week.

And so click on this link to check out the full deets @hive-179017/shadow-hunters-contest-round-135-win-prizes and if you miss this round 135, no need to panic cause I'm sure there'l be a round 136 coming up REAL soon.

There are just soooo many wonderful communities with so many more unique and original contests on the Hive that teach you to become far more observant- which is exactly what we need in this day and age, since so many of us have been locked up in our homes (Me for 6 Months now) and not getting as much physical stimuli for the mental faculties, so it's great to be able to access these 'games' which open up our thinking, opening up our mind so our brains don't get too mushy...so I hope that you all dive in, explore, discover and participate in the fun too!

So tonight, I would like to introduce you to 2 wonderful #Hiveans who have been inspired by...Me actually...believe it or not...lol...😃 And I'd like to share with you their new posts- one of them being a seriously fantastic post about one of her favourite flesh and blood heroes to celebrate and appreciate for the #MeetMyHero introductions and the #WhoIsYourHero invitation.

So Hive account@sirenahippie who wrote this detailed and intimate post of someone that we all wish was still alive- Dr. Jacinto Convit and if you don't know who that is, then please read this as he is a reason to celebrate the life of soooo many people around the world. @sirenahippie/esp-eng-mi-superheroe-favorito-el-dr-jacinto-convit-my-favorite-superhero-dr-jacinto-convit and I'm sure that many people within the medical sector aswell as our marvelous Venezuelan friends will know who he is and understand why he should be celebrated the world over.

And then the lovely and talented Hive account@ayorae finally decided to come out of her shell and join us here in the #IAmAliveChallenge, which can only be a GREAT thing for her and all of us too!
