We've had SUCH a great selection of photos come through this week for the Stock Images/Natural Medicine challenge. It means that we'll have to break up the stock image posts in a few separate posts, so Hive account@minismallholding can categorise them better within the Stock Images community. This post is CATEGORY 1 - PLANTS, HERBS AND FUNGHI. If you entered under another category (which I'm yet to make up - but the post will be out tomorrow) rewards will be coming your way soon. We're also burning a LOT of LOTUS for this contest - 100 HIVE per photograph! This helps raise the value of the token. We'd appreciate it if you also burnt some LOTUS for your own entries.

If your image is featured here, you've been set as a beneficiary on this post AND you are in the running to win HIVE!

Personally, I've been right clicking and saving the images I like within a folder on my computer, saved and organised by Hiver name, so I can easily find what I like to use in my posts INSTEAD of Unsplash or any 'outside' HIVE image stock. It feels GOOD to support Hivers!!

With no further ado, I present a selection of images based around the theme 'PLANTS AND FUNGHI' - I loved seeing this selection this week! Rather than including ALL of them, I selected what I thought were the best - crisp and well composed. Thanks to all entries - you've also been awarded with upvotes and LOTUS. If you'd like to see MORE - head over to the contest announcement post where you'll see many more fantastic images you can use in your posts, as long as you set the author a small beneficiary. It's a wonderful way to support your fellow Hivers!
