Forgotten
OMG! Pollution is worst than I thought! Look at this poor rose, it looks so fake! On top of that it lost her thorns! Her glorious days are over, she's just a polyester thing now! Her delicate sweet scent disappeared long time ago and bees fly away scared. She blames GMO, fertilizers, chemicals, plastic, humans... she even blame the dogs pooping everything in their path at the park!
I have to agree with @blacklux! This rose does look fake... doesn't it? What great photography skills!
But wait! Is she fake?

Fungi Friday- Gardens Are For Everyone!
I was walking around the garden minding my own business (looking for some pretty flowers to shoot) when I looked down and I saw those
Look at the way @ewkaw has captured the sun's rays as they dance upon this fungi! Spectacular!
Mushrooms were the last thing I was hoping to see! It is a little bit warm recently, and we never had them growing there. But I guess the overgrown fruits trees and one pine tree created a nice place and they decided to move in

Ulog 92: Everywhere I Look... More Homesteading Projects Are Demanding My Attention
To say the last couple of months have been out of the norm for me and my homestead is an understatement. Between my recovery from the auto collision to my husband's heart attack and surgery to getting things changed over from winter to summer gardening and my son's wedding coming up this weekend, life on the Golden D Homestead has been a whirlwind of activity and fluttering of interruptions
There seems to be so much to do keeping up a homestead... and look at all the projects awaiting @goldendawne! WHEW! You get tired just looking at all of them.

The Micro Orange Invasion...
Last summer we had a weird infestation of these tiny fellas in the south of Portugal.
They are normally always present but never in these proportions.
They were literally everywhere, on every flower, every leaf and even climbing on our legs
Do you get itchy just seeing bugs even if they're not on your skin? @brumest shows some beautiful flowers being invaded by itty-bitty red insects!
A true horror movie for those who can't stand bugs

What “Drama” Sunsets Are Made Of...
Sun rays, sun beams, star bursts and clouds that assist in dressing up the scene!
That's what you need for 'drama' sunsets or sunrises...
And when the elements are all in play... standby for nature's showtime!
If you listen, it's almost as if you can hear the sunset booming and talking! @ackhoo did a fabulous job showing this view as the sun starts to set for another day.
Qurator News:
Bigger better monthly subs!
We know not everyone can delegate or upvote for larger upvotes. Thus sending in steem allowed for a larger upvote for the month.
It used to be only two levels.
SUB1 = 0.8 Steem for an upvote from 750 SP
SUB2 = 1.6 Steem for an upvote from 1500 SP
We decided to add three more levels to this, with level 5 adding a little bonus in there!
SUB3 = 2.4 Steem for an upvote from 2250 SP
SUB4 = 3.2 Steem for an upvote from 3000 SP
SUB5 = 4 Steem for an upvote from 4000 SP (250SP Bonus!)
So how does that work?
Let's say you send 3.2 Steem with the memo sub JUNE then you will get an upvote from @qurator similar to a 3000 SP account.
Qurator ICO is live!!
Introducing Referral Bonuses!
Dear Qurites,
We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help.
Write a post about Qurator.
Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin.
Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project.
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it.
Invite a friend.
Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.
There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:
| 1 | You refer a friend to Qurator | You sponsor a membership to your friend |
| 2 | Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: referred by @your_steemit_username | You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: @your_friends_username |
| 3 | Our team reviews the account | Our team reviews the account |
| 4 | Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote | Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote |
Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in THIS post.
Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail
 | The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. Steemauto guide and registration info |
We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.
Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
