My Entry for the Pay-it-Forward Curation Contest - Week 53

First of all: this contest by @pifc is available for anyone to join until midnight Saturday, right here!

Selection 1: @jamethiel -- post just written!

Payout status: $0.07 now, seven days to go

Montana spring scenes, big sky, rock formations and mountains, trees coming alive, and brass sculptures dressed in gorgeous new shawls -- this post has EVERYTHING to describe a day's journey in one of the most underappreciated states in the country. The thing I love about this post (in addition to ALL the gorgeous photographs) is how the author shows how a regular day's journey to care for family can be full of fitness and the fun of geocaching and glorious scenes of nature. @jamethiel gives us ALL OF IT in this post!

Selection 2: @steemspots -- another brand new post

Have you ever wondered what it was like to go to Taiwan, and travel through one of its busiest cities? Save money and read this post by @steemspots, this post that takes you down one of the most important streets in Taipei, Taiwan -- Ximending, which gives the flavor of a very different pace of life than here in the States. The photographs give the impression of walking along the street and seeing the local scenes and people as you go!

Bonus Selection: @melany93, a BRAND NEW Steemian writing her first post!

Reputation: 27 (she JUST started less than an hour ago)
Payout status: $0.08, seven days to go

@melany93 is new, but she is a very strong writer and has an interesting background -- she's from Colombia studying agroecological engineering in the United States, and has a background in music as well. Although this is not an OFFICIAL selection for this contest, I just have a feeling she is going to be someone to watch, so I put her on in here so we can get her started right!

By the way: big thank you to @vikingventures for helping me present my links better!
