Cinnamon- The Sweet Species Par Excellence

In El Salvador cinnamon is not a massive crop, but we obtained a little plant that we care for as one of the most beautiful in our garden.
A few days ago in a nearby nursery looking for plants and fruit trees, we found the pleasant surprise of seeing a cinnamon tree the great species very used for multiple desserts especially

Did you know cinnamon actually is a tree? I know I sure didn't!
Check out Hive account@galberto's post about this spice and learn more about it.

This Is My Entry For The Monomad Challenge

This photograph was taken at Great Rann of Kutch, Gujarat. Vehicles are not allowed into the salt marsh, also known as the White Desert of Kutch, since it is completely covered with pristine white salt.
Here we are being led by guides into the marsh, where we watched the setting sun. It is quite a spectacular sight, in what is, one of the largest salt marshes in the world

What a gorgeous image! Pristine white sand? Sounds so beautiful!
People in the west have never seen a camel pulling a wagon I imagine. Now you have!

Ida-Dress For Dinosaurs

A big hello to you all and I missed you so much. I was one week in Frankfurt and as we came back we had a funny water problem in the bathroom. So funny that I am only now back to writing for#needleworkmonday.
The water of shower and basin did not stop to run. We firstly repaired the mountings, but this did not help as the main valve is simply to old. After this was fixed the shower head broke and we saw we had again a water damage at the ceiling from the apartment above… a never-ending story (finally our landlord promised to renovate the bathroom within the next 6 month – we will see).

Come see the adventure Hive account@neumannsalva had while in Germany and check out the dress she made in this post.

Road To Steemfest: Fears- Physical Roads And Shout-Outs. Oh Dear Am I Too Late? They Went That Way

Oh damn my biggest fear is missing these stories from all you guys looking forward to Steemfest. I still need to catch up all of those because I couldn’t read them during my roadtrip. Hive account@anomadsoul the tag seems to be more popular than ever?

Head over and help calm Hive account@guchtere's nerves. He seems quite excited about Steem Fest coming up next month. See who he is thinking of before he sets of n this Steem Adventure of a lifetime.

Important News:

Introducing Referral Bonuses!

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help.

Write a post about Qurator.

Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin.

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project.
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it.

Invite a friend.

Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

	Option 1 - Referrals	Option2 - Sponsorship
1	You refer a friend to Qurator	You sponsor a membership to your friend
2	Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: `referred by @your_steemit_username`	You send registration fee to Hive account@qurator with your the person's name in memo: `@your_friends_username`
3	Our team reviews the account	Our team reviews the account
4	Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote	Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote

Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in THIS post.

Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail


	The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. Steemauto guide and registration info

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
