I have been inspired by Hive account@sneak to begin a mission along my Steemit journey: to explore strange new blogs, to seek out new posts and new minnows, to boldly go where no Steemian has gone before! yes, I'm a geek...

The Mission, should I choose to accept it

I will begin trawling through this very platform hunting out those hidden gems, the undiscovered countries of newly arrived promising authors. Freshly spawned minnows if you like. I wish to put a spotlight on those I think are deserving of a much wider audience and this mission starts NOW.

My first pick is Hive account@bisade - he is very new here, just 5 days into his Steemit adventure. As such he only has two posts (a third is promised for tonight) but I urge you to go and have a read. They are both well written and thought provoking. Hive account@bisade deserves a much greater following and I hope it will spur him on to keep providing such quality writing.

My second pick is Hive account@perceptualflaws. Although he has been here a little longer I feel his writing has come on in leaps and bounds of late. I was particularly struck by his second part of a philosophical walk along the Southwest coastal path.

Interspersed with beautiful photography that he took along the way, he paints a relaxing journey through some of England's most stunning countryside. I almost felt as though we shared the same path.

My third and final pick for the first in this series is for Hive account@isaria

17 days along her adventure here, I was struck by Isaria's musical talents. Here you can see and hear her play a hauntingly beautiful track by Phillip Glass.

Not only does she play a mean piano/keyboard but also has the voice of an angel. Here is a video of Isaria performing under the name Ruins of Isa.

Please check out their blogs and, if you agree with me, give them a follow. I am sure they will appreciate it and your feed will be filled with more great work in the future.
