Giving thanks and recognition to the artists who generously, and unknowingly help promote the growing community of poets and bloggers on steemit.

I will be presenting a series of posts.
To highlight artists and photographers who have share their work through pixabay to be utilised free of charge by anyone. They have enhanced the quality and presentation of posts on steemit. Not only within the creative writing community but across the entire platform.
