Hello Nature Lovers !

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS

The whole contest is moving to the HIVE:

THE AMAZING NATURE CONTEST LEFT STEEM due to an hostile takeover of the Steem Blockchain by a little Chinese Brat who just cares only about money and none of us in the community.
You can find the new Hive community and also the contest are located on the Hive now. You can find it here AMAZING NATURE COMMUNITY.

I will be still here for you ! (until silenced by our new dicktator):

I will be still around on the Steem Community for you and manage the community as good as possible, but there are 3 major changes in the Steem Blockchain regarding the Amazing Nature Community.

The Contest will be here no longer! It is already completely shifted to the Hive.
I myself as a blogger will be here no longer. I just do not like our new dicktatorship and his policy of censorship that he is already using on some critical speaking accounds.
Already most of the community that cared about their own ownership of Intelectual Property and the right to speak up their mind without being censored already left too.

THIS WEEKS WINNERS

This week @nelinoeva contributes to the contest with an amazing post about a woodpecker. Those astonishing birds are known to intensively peck trees whereve they are flying, leaving a special distinctive sound. This way they get to their food that is hidden closely under the tree bark. These woodpeckers can even stand upside down and still continue pecking. Thank you for the entry of one of our great #featheredfriends ^^

@nelinoeva

Our great @annephilbrick submitted something really cute this time, a chipmunk that found its way into her garden! These Eastern Chipmunks are in the Squirrel family, ground dwellers and dig extensive tunnels. They eat nuts, berries and were seen to nibble on mushrooms. Thank you for this cut entry to the contest ;)

Here we have the very first entry by @oizaguirres, a photographer from Venezuela. On his daily tour through the family garden, mother nature gave rise to this astonishing view that he entitled LOVE AND HUNGER. Those two bugs here are trying to make some love and to reproduce, while a hungry Ant tries to feed from them during the act ^^ Thank you for this great entry to the contest. Inever saw something like this before!
