Welcome to the 17th Edition of Photo Friday - Hosted by @qurator!

Below you will find some unbelievable images captured by your fellow Qurites from all over the world! See what adventures they have shared with all of us! Don't forget to vote for your favorite and if you'd like to nominate your own image for next week's competition, make sure to comment #nominate below.

Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the Daily Qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again.

Each Friday we will select 5 Qurites and feature their photography in our Daily Qurator post. Each Qurite featured in this post needs to comment with their photo featured in this post. The user with the most upvotes on their comment (not money value) will win a Tier 5 membership for 30 days! The votes will be counted when this post reaches payout.

Want to take part in Photo Friday? NOMINATE! After you upvoted your favorite photo!

DO

Want to take part in the next Photo Friday? Sure you can! Simply comment in the comment section with #nominate.

We will then consider your account and look over your feed for any Photography related posts for the upcoming Photo Friday

DO NOT:

Post links and/or pictures of your most recent posts. We will not choose them. Why? Well, we want the nominees to also benefit from being in the Photo Fridayy Edition. If you give us a link now and we use it for the next issue of Photo Friday your post has most likely reached payout. That means not extra upvotes... We will select the most recent posts from your feed.

So instead, just include#nominatein your comment of this post (don't forget to vote for your favorite food post first).
We will take it from there and consider your feed for the next Photo Friday.

We hope this can spark some more interest in the photography community within Qurator. Hopefully to get more users to visit photography related blogs and appreciate your photography. Hopefully there will also be some nice rewards on your comment in this post.

Whisky Bay In Wilsons Prom And Not Sleeping While Traveling

Who else finds sleep difficult while travelling? I move around quite a bit, you'd think I'd be use to different beds, sounds and environments. But, no. I don't feel anxious about sleeping in different places, but it has got to a point where when I lay down I just accept the fact that I'm going to have a bad nights sleep. I can relax fine and I don't get frustrated at the lack of sleep. It's just a part of my life now

Ahhh... now this looks like a picture perfect moment. The way @kieranstone captures all these bright colors and the way the waves crash against the rocks. Such a beautiful scene.

Cat And Chamomiles

Even cats love daisies. Today in the house I brought a wonderful bouquet of chamomiles and even my cat could not resist and sniffed it. It was so touching and funny that I decided to share with you

How sweet! Looks like the kitty wants to nuzzle the chamomile flowers. Have you ever seen such an adorable moment?

Golden Hour Photography Contest: Rotterdam

I'm not much of a traveler these days but I was recently in Rotterdam and saw the most breathtaking sunsets. I'm a big fan of the Vegas golden hour because the way the sun sets behind the mountains shooting pinks and orange shades across the desert but I think Rotterdam on this day was equally spectacular. It reminds me to look up to the sky as often as possible.

The first thing that entered my mind was... these colors remind me of cotton candy. The blue and pink tones...exactly like that sweet treat from a circus or carnival.

Fiddlehead Fern Frond

New life and energy is about to unfold. When this Fern Frond opens up, the wonders of nature will reveal the beauty of fern leaves as they mature and grow

Did you know you can eat fiddle ferns? Yes! They are safe to eat. I wonder what they taste like?

Travel Pro Adventure Number 20: Swimming With Sea Turtles In Mancora Peru- Part One

I had the pleasure of swimming with the sea turtles in Mancora Peru! My day started off at the hotel having breakfast. I had no plans to really do anything this day other than walk around the town and Steemit

Swimming with sea turtles? HOW COOL! Have you even had the privilege of doing that? Not me, but I sure would love to try it one day.

Good luck to all the entries! May the best photo win!
