Hello all!
Want to win some #steembasicincome and learn about nature?!
Thanks for making the last NIC such a great conversation and for all of your great contributions. Really cool photos and insight from all! A bit late on this update, but better late than never!
Last #NIC found - (feel free to click to see it here):
@samve
@shasta
@bashadow
@deerjay
@agmoore
@nelinoeva
all winning a share of #steembasicincome!!
Thanks for participating! It will take a week or so for your @sbi shares to show up in your account...
What is this?!
Hmmm.... a tree yes? Anything more? I found this in Eastern Africa...
Thus, welcome back to the Nature Identification Contest (NIC) v.6!!!!
We look forward to your contributions!
Basically it works like this:
post a photo that you took about something (e.g. a plant, animal, rock, etc) from nature that you would like help with as a reply below.
post context - maybe where you found it - forest, stream, desert, etc. How big it is (if it is hard to see).
other users will help to identify what it is as replies.
you do not have to, but feel free to repost or upvote if you are keen (if you like the contest - but not a requirement - but it helps support @SBI shares).
;)
What do you get?
Well first we learn from each other = cool!!!!!! And see cool photos!
Second #steembasicincome!
I will donate 100% of the earnings (from upvotes) of this post back into #steembasicincome for the participants.
I will also promise to have at least 4 shares of steembasicincome as bounty for the participants, irrespective of the earnings of the post. Obviously, the more that participate, the higher the potential shares of @sbi to be given back. Hopefully a whale will stop by and give the potential for many shares.... ;)
Thanks to all of the above for the participation. (as always it may take a week or so before your shares are connected with your accounts).
What is @steembasicincome? Well just click on the name (@steembasicincome) to learn more, but basically it is a system to help support our community through upvotes.
Hope you enjoy and that we learn from each other.
But hopefully there are some harder ones out there and some good participation.
Looking forward to your ideas...
#passitforward #SBI #steembasicincome #life #nature
Thanks to @shasta for this amazing meme and hope you enjoy yaking about this and exploring nature below!

nice tree! where in Africa did you go? what species it is, I have no clue. baobab's are, as already mentioned, the only trees I can associate with Africa but it doesn't look quite like it...

This is from Tanzania... a beautiful place... I think it could be a baby baobab... but not sure how many types of baobabs there are??
Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you @snowyknight! I think the trees may be baobab trees. They also look like they have lichens on them. They are pretty cool looking trees!

I have no clue what else is in the picture, I do think it is cool how it looks like in the lower fatter trunk that a hand is coming out and holding onto a branch that looks somewhat like a set of bull horns, but I'm getting old, and may be seeing things, or it could be that It's not because of age, but because I have always seen things in other things, like clouds and tree bark, and even in rocks...looking forward to some of the pics from people and guesses.

Hey @bashadow! Always excited to see you stop by!
I also am very amused at reading your reply as well (and happy).
You are not getting that old, to me you look like a small young dog! hahaha.
That being said, seeing things in the clouds and tree bark and rocks just perhaps means that you are creative... #justbecause!
That being said, agreed that it is fatter lower and thins towards the top.
Thanks for stopping by!

You made me laugh @bashadow as I do the same thing but mostly with clouds and trees. I'm getting older too but like you, I've always seen things in other things from the time I was a young child. 💖

Tell me about it. :-) My eyes are cheating on me and I can see things too. The clouds are always in a shape of something. :-)

What I see is a tree. :-)
There is some kind of lichen, a lot of it.
I thought to throw a picture of a flower, that somebody can identify. I saw it among the roses on the street. It is small flower with low stem and because it was so attractive with its stamens I took this close-up.

I think it may be St Johns Wort, but I am not 100% sure, a search on google shows similar flower as St John's Wort, supposed to be good for you but I don't know what part or anything like that. One of the herbalist would know for sure I think.

Both you and @roxy-cat suggest St. Johns Wort and I think you are right.

It likely is, most important though, it is a nice pretty flower and a nice picture, and well it got us all posting and commenting. A total win for all.

Wow cool!
What are engage tokens? Do you have a post about this? I do not remember seeing it?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

They are a token created by Asher @abh12345 to give an extra reward sort of for people that engage in conversations, When you accumulate 1000 or so you are allowed to give some out. I forget about them pretty easily, but Asher put this reminder post out - https://steemit.com/engage/@abh12345/distributing-engage-to-engagement-league-superstars about handing some out.
!ENGAGE 50
He has links to the creation post and other information on that post.

Actually those are different names for the same plant. It is quite common here and we always use it when it comes of liver diseases. 🙂
