The Roundup
In this edition we have a new section added: New Hivers -- Welcome Aboard! The first of these New Hivers is a good friend and great content creator in Web 2 world who has taken the leap over to Web 3 with me -- that's @truemystique, who is the first of three wonderful New Hivers we have in this edition. You'll find them all right under News and Views You Can Use -- show them some love!
Most posts in this edition are in the payout period still, so if you like what I like, show the content creators some love! If you are using PeakD as your front end, you can also TIP anyone in the "Oldies But Goodies" section, too.

A good view into the history of Layer 2 tokens and how they and Defi projects are holding up at this point in the markets and may well be the foundation for the next bull run!

Fruit of summer, trees of autumn, and storms of winter as a child and a lion behold this fabulous world made in this collage by @artscience!

[//]: #3 https://peakd.com/hive-174301/@mdriart/how-to-draw-a-bird-saving-life-of-an-ant-from-drowning
A wonderful visual rendering of an old fable ... a fine reminder by @mdriart of the power of mercy and kindness in the world!
Photography
[//]: #1 https://peakd.com/hive-147010/@ifarmgirl/just-one-more-shot
I love these shots of golden hour through the trees, and I connect with and understand the spirit in which @ifarmgirl made them ... I've been there, friend, many times...
[//]: #2 https://peakd.com/hive-147010/@borjan/eight-monochrome-memories-two-colorful-ones
A collection of different memories from different years ... and yet, @borjan is such a powerful visual storyteller that there is still a flow here ... from bleak age and cold to hope spectacular and beyond back into ever-flowing life!
[//]: #3 https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@justbabybee/when-the-sky-starts-to
In this edition we have reversed the game ... we began with photography of sunset and we end with @justbabybee capturing the beauty of sunrise with a bit of a surprise ending -- but you know, on Hive, just about any kind of journey through time and space is at least imaginable!
Music
[//]: #1 and only, this week!
https://peakd.com/hive-105786/@dave-estates/tduzmxal
This was a real treat to me -- there is little I like better than a good bass line in a song praising the Lord, and this cover by @dave-estates was magnificent! It is very near payout at the time of this publication, but in PeakD, remember that you can tip!
Fiction
[//]: #1 https://peakd.com/hive-161155/@sima369/ball-winding-in-the-days-of-the-wooly-mammoth
A poem about the creation of a fiction ... @sima369 will have you going ...
[//]: #2 https://peakd.com/hive-161155/@justclickindiva/surprise-in-the-attic-or-5-minute-freewrite-day-1913-prompt-old-lady
An whole group of little great-nieces and nephews learn a little bit about why it is not wise to disrespect your elders, although one of them knows better from the start ... @justclickindiva gives us a sweet, wise story about childhood and old age.
[//]: #3 https://peakd.com/hive-161155/@grocko/mother-s-mercy
As someone who knows that the real name of Mt. Everest is Chomolungma, or "Mother Goddess" in the tongue of the native people of the area, I thoroughly enjoyed this story by @grocko ... just remember, as Chomolungma has truly taught MANY: Mama don't take no mess!
Travel
[//]: #1 https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@adetorrent/malaga-ten-years-ago
A vision of a beautiful, lively town in Spain, long before the panorama of illness and isolation we have endured more recently came along ... but, @adetorrent's post not only shows us what was, but what can be explored as it returns to its lively self...
[//]: #2 https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@onalazyday/winter-season-escapade-to-malta
An overlooked winter getaway from the cold of Europe has many pleasant surprises ... @onalazyday takes us around Malta and shows us its many enjoyable sides!
[//]: #3 https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@patsitivity/just-the-two-of-us-or-malapascua-island-cebu-part-1
A story of what can be just a little bit away from us and glorious, when trust is established between old family and potential new ... I enjoyed both the pictures of the location and the process of getting there by @patsitivity!
Commerce
[//]: #1 https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@quduus1/amidst-all-challenges-it-was
Read to the end ... @quduus1 has provided us YET ANOTHER real story about how Hive is boosting the chances of its users EVERYWHERE in life, including big business!
[//]: #2 https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@hivedeb/a-tree-that-can-solve-generational-needs
A coconut tree can do more than you think with consistent work ... micro-commerce with @hivedeb that reminds me of something else ... Hive is similar in how it needs work up front, but will yield excellent fruit later...
Finance
[//]: #1 https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@stdd/money-makes-money
A deeply personal writing by @stdd, showing us things about ourselves ... the training many of us got to survive a world in which our parents did not have access to capital ... our worst enemy in seizing the new opportunities ... how to overcome that enemy in crypto, and especially on Hive, and move forward!
[//]: #2 https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@liotes/vrvaeisv
A very personal opportunity for financial thinking from @liotes ... it was amazing to me to see how fellow Hivers' answers were similar, but also how they differed in detail. Someday, I do believe Hive will see $5 -- the time to start thinking about what to do may be now...
Philanthropy (Hive Keeping Folks Alive)
[//]: #1 and only, this week
https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@adaezeinchrist/the-project-meant-to-help-widows-is-about-to-take-off-for-2023
A seed planted in December, and helped by both Leofinance and Neo-Core here on Hive, is being watered by @adaezeinchrist ... although this will be near payout at the time of the publication of this post, remember that you can tip in PeakD and keep up with the development of this by following @adaezeinchrist directly!
Oldies but Goodies (still worth a read, still TIPPABLE on PeakD)
[//]: #1 https://peakd.com/hive-158694/@twirble/waystation-1859-pt-1-animatic
It's the details for me ... and the contrast of so much of this world, viewed from so much of another... or IS IT another world, or instead a passage from the bottom of one of our great waters to another time in our world, with the accumulation of rusted lost things of that time around it?
[//]: #2 https://peakd.com/hive-130560/@yetsimar/floral-arrangement-of-hydrangeas-and-paper-daisies-hive-diy-contest
Just so pretty ... so simple and yet so accurate ... I did not know that hydrangeas are called hortensias in Spanish, and this was one detail of many beautiful details in this post...
WOW! Thanks for recognizing our work here. This is a very good one.
Thanks for the mention. We will keep doing our best.
You're welcome -- keep doing what you are doing!
Thanks you ma'am
Thankfully, I have shown my love to creative photographer sir @borjan and have always supported @justbabybee as a creative writer as well. With your post, I tried to look around for other writers. Thank you @deeanndmathews. Blessing.
There is no program, per se ... I curate posts that I like, through the week, in every category. You already qualify because of the quality of your work -- I like what you are doing. Maybe not EVERY WEEK, because there is a lot of good photography on Hive, but you are already eligible to be mentioned quite a lot.
Now, on PeakD as a front end, you CAN make your own collections -- if you click on the little pencil, you'll see a menu, and at the bottom it says, "Create a Collection Of Posts." You can use the placeholders to create posts like the ones you see here, and there are good instructions. IN ESSENCE, copy the links of the posts you like into the placeholder text, and write a summary of why you chose to add that post to your collection. Do this as many times as you want per collection -- as far as I know, there is no maximum size for a collection. In a week, I tend to select 20-30 posts of the MANY that I see and like.
Thank you for your support, dear Bro @elchaleefatoe15. The most incredible thing is that you have introduced me to this sensational community.
Thank you very much for the mention and appreciation I am happy I got recognized thanks mam
