I've never arrived so early to a post like I did with this one, and it's because I was definitely waiting for @melinda010100 to publish the entry for this round of the [Shadow Hunters SMASh Contest](https://ecency.com/category/@melinda010100/shadow-hunters-smash-contest-round-66407eae42b9e) so I could share a photo I took—and one I'm very proud of.  
> Nunca había llegado tan temprano a un post como a este, y es que sin dudas estaba esperando que @melinda010100 publicara la entrada de este round del [Shadow Hunters SMASh Contest](https://ecency.com/category/@melinda010100/shadow-hunters-smash-contest-round-66407eae42b9e) para compartirles una foto que tomé y de la que estoy muy orgulloso.

It's a simple photo of my hand, but I took it right after working in the garden, in the dim light of the house.  
> Es una foto simple de mi mano, pero la tomé justo después de trabajar en el jardín y entre las penumbras de la casa a oscuras.

I believe there's no symbol in art as powerful as hands, always tied to the duality of destruction and creation.  
> Creo que en el arte no hay un símbolo tan fuerte como las manos, siempre acompañadas de la dualidad entre la destrucción y la creación.

Thanks to our hands, we can work the soil, write, and even draw.  
> Gracias a nuestras manos podemos trabajar la tierra, escribir y hasta dibujar.

Often, a hand can tell us much more than a face.  
> Muchas veces una mano nos puede decir mucho más que un rostro.

What I love most about this photograph is all the dirt, the wrinkles and textures of the skin, and the shadows that surround it.  
> Me gusta mucho de esta fotografía toda la suciedad, las arrugas y texturas en la piel, y las sombras que la envuelven.

Hands are undoubtedly the channel for our spiritual energy.  
> Las manos sin dudas son el canal para nuestra energía espiritual.

Well friends, thank you for joining me in this quick entry and for all your support.  
> Bueno amigos, gracias por acompañarme en esta entrada veloz y gracias por todo el apoyo.

As always, I wish you success and good luck.  
> Mis ya acostumbrados deseos de éxitos y buena suerte para ustedes.

> Nos vemos en el próximo post. ¡Chau!
