The above photograph is a Zinnia that was part of my photo collection from the gardens my daughter and I went to in July. I have many to choose from and liked how this one came out. I saved a rose for the next photo.
I liked how the lady bug did a cameo appearance.
I finally got a picture of a butterfly this year. I had never seen this species before. According to my butterfly book it is a "Mourning Cloak" butterfly. I met a young woman and her parents who are from Venezuela, and this young woman (@ kathe-art) has a gift with butterflies. When I say young I mean he recently graduated in the third grade).

I am not sure what flower this next one is, but I found its shape and colors fantastic. I was amazed when I downloaded my photos to my computer how some of the pestles were in the shape of little hearts. I think this is a wonderful photograph to end my post.
As always I hope you find at least one thing in my post that you enjoy.

I am seeing more people using the neoxian and palnet tags in there posts, and now creativecoin. The first two are open to most posts, although creativecoin requires that there is some creativity involved in your post. I joined their discord channel and asked about my photography and it fits their requirements. Before using any of these or others as a tag be sure it fits the intent of the token. Using these when posting on steemit can help you earn money on the other three platforms, as well as steemit. If you vote on someone's post who uses these tags you probably already having earnings in respective wallets. If you have not done so, then look into those wallets and see. With the price of Steem being low the extra earnings can help a lot.

I am receiving a fair rate of return on my delegation, and it is a way to earn more NEOXAG.
I have supported these for quite awhile. I am researching newer ones, and once I feel comfortable that they are doing what they say they are doing I may include more. Each will receive a portion of earnings from this post
Each of these users have a unique service they provide and I applaud their good work. Thank you for considering them.
