Keep your eye on the prize - A juicy Green Leaf - Colorchallenge Thursdaygreen

This has got to be one of my favourite shots, up close and personal with this tortoise. I think the angle of the shot, and the way the sun shines on this its face gives the tortoise a pretty serious, but distinguished look.

I took this photo at a zoo a couple of years ago. We gave the tortoise a fresh juicy green leaf, and moved further down the enclosure, only to look back and see it slowly making its way towards us. It seemed to like the leaf enough to come after us for some more. He had to dodge a few obstacles and other tortoises on the way to us, but he persisted and was rewarded with another juicy green leaf for his troubles.

Keep Your Eye On The Prize

Just like in life, when you have a goal you want to reach, you may be faced with some twists and turns, and obstacles which get in your way. Just keep your eye on the prize, and deal with whatever comes your way as it happens. It will be your persistence which pays off in the end. Your journey on Steem is exactly the same. The Steem Price may be a bit in the dumps at the moment, but the platform is still thriving, and if you stop engaging, you'll find yourself way behind when it does pick up again. Remember, your Steem Power rewards haven't reduced, just the Dollar value of it has.... for now!

Have a great day, and just keep Steeming forward!
