<h3>Hello Nature Lovers !</h3>  _I would like to cordially invite you to another great week of the Amazing Nature Contest. There were already so many excellent entries regarding how amazing nature can be in the past episodes and there is still so much more to see ^^ .. To participate in #amazingnature just create a post that shows how amazing nature is for you personally. This can be anything from a beautiful flower or animal to an astonishing sunset._ <hr> <h3>What is the Purpose of the Contest ?</h3> _I am a huge lover of nature and really enjoy to take pictures of all the lovely things that surround me every day, no matter if those are plants, animals or landscapes. I found Steemit to be a brilliant place to find and watch nature pictures from all over the world. There is such a diversity of great content out there, thanks to all of you, from different perspectives and out of various motivations. I would like to collect all those beautiful snapshots and their amazing stories in a weekly compilation so that you can all benefit from the beauty that we are facing all the time, but so often are not able to appreciate in the modern times we are living in._ <hr>  <hr> <h3>Contest Rules :</h3> _As this is a proper contest be so kind and follow those simple contest rules. Otherwise, to stay fair to those who do, I have to disqualify you from the winning places !_ * Use #amazingnature as _FIRST TAG_ and topic of the post and _CLEARLY MENTION_ that your post is an _ENTRY_ for this contest. This assures that this contest can grow and reach out to as many nature lovers as possible. * All pictures that you use in your post have to be your own. You can use the amazing nature banner if you like or create your own. * Clearly _STATE_ why those pictures are representing _YOUR AMAZING NATURE_. This is an essential part of this contest. * Drop the _LINK_ to your post _IN THE COMMENTS_ below so all participants can find it easily and fully enjoy this weekly collection. You can add a picture if you like. * Please submit only one post per contest. Of course you can do more, but I will stick to one entry per Steemian. <hr> <h3>Possible Topics :</h3> _As nature covers an extreme wide range there is really anything possible. Amazing Natures categories could be anything from the following topics:_ * Botany * Zoology * Geology * Landscapes * Philosophy * ... <hr> <h3>Prizes to Win :</h3> * 1st Place : 3 SBI * 2nd Place : 2 SBI * 3rd Place : 1 SBI _I will always try my best to link and present all participants of Amazing Nature in the entries section of the announcement posts that will be published roughly one week later during the weekend. This way you will have a nice compilation of them all. As an special feature, the new title picture of the contest will be created from the entry of the contest winner.

Those plants look really magical ! The many white fruits with the little black dots that look like pupils definitely gives you the feeling many eyes are looking right back at you."It's totally amazing to think nature is watching us...👀👀👀 !" Thank you so much for this great entry ^^_ </center>  <center> @annephilbrick </center> <hr> <hr> <center>_This pretty bunch of mini flowers are Goldenrod from @paradigm42 , which he took macro photos from in late august when this lovely wildflower is can be found blooming in open meadows and forest edges. Goldenrod is edible and has many medicinal uses. It can also be used to dye textiles. I am really glad that his interest in macro photography opened his eyes to the tiny world of wildflowers like these, and the blog is full of really beautiful macro and nature pictures. It is worth a visit ^^_ </center>  <center> @paradigm42 </center> <hr> <hr> <center>_Here we have a seagull from @viking-ventures that she found in Seaside, Oregon, very near the Seaside Aquarium, sitting in the sand. If you want to find out more about sea gulls or even even about Oregon, just visit her blog about "Outstanding Oregon" that has already 18 issues ^^_ </center>  <center> @viking-venture </center> <hr> <hr>  <hr> <hr> <center> <h1>HONORABLE MENTIONS</h1> </center> <hr> <hr>  <center> @thesobuz </center> <hr> https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/adalger/0fMyuj2U-o1AJ9qDyyJNSpZWhUgGYc3MngFqoAN11FcZXq3XBeDcXf8Xvv.jpeg.jpg <center> @mysteriousroad </center> <hr> <hr>  <center> @brittandjosie </center> <hr> <hr>  <hr> <hr> <center> <h1>FEATURING</h1> </center> <hr> <hr> <center> _Here I want to feature you this beautiful waterfall from @tussar11, which shows a perfect combination of Waterfall, Mountains, clouds & greenery.
