Welcome to the 26th 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 photo 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.

PLEASE NOTE, ONLY THOSE FEATURED IN THIS POST MUST PASTE THE LINKS BELOW IN THE COMMENT SECTION. POSTING THE LINK IF IT IS NOT YOURS COULD RESULT IN A FLAG.

Morning Stroll

Sometimes I just feel an immense pressure. Not on my body, but weighing deeply on my soul or spirit. Negative forces of energy wanting to consume me. Pulling me this way and that. Frustrating me at every turn.
But I fight, push back with positivity. Fuel my body with life. Converse with my spirit. Train my physical body harder and create a stronghold in the fortress of my mind. Through these actions I feel battles can be won. So I continue on

Such an uncomplicated image, but yet so delicate and magnificent! @eyeofthemind has an unbelievable talent!

Dragonfly

Dragonfly this I found on ramule little Bush near the little River. he prefers to play in damp areas

This little guy is just minding his own business and @nazarul captures the dragonfly's moment of leisure. GREAT job!

Portland Plants 26- Plenty Of Plants And A Few Bees I Found In Portland

The weather was nice and hot on Monday, so I went out for some photos. I didn't find many new plants this time. There was a big tree that I'd never noticed before, but most of these photos are of plants that I've already photographed

This is just one of many flower images that @fronttowardenemy is sharing in this post. Stop over to see all the other close-up images from Portland.

Snail Collection- Hidden- Oculto Nature Live

For today's theme I want to share this other photograph of a nice snail that is hidden among the leaves of this bush, in the second shot we can detail its color and shape well

Can you find the snail? It's in there... just enjoying a day of flowers, berries and sunshine.
