Over the past 19 months I have written articles on and included pictures of magnificent trees. Whenever I can I like to get a picture of either myself or @lellabird60 hugging them. Not only does this give the photo scale but it's fun and therapeutic too!
Let's See Your Tree Hugging Photographs!
I'd like to create a gallery of Steemit's best Tree Hugging photographs. Not only will this be fun and continue to promote respect for nature but it will help in our redistribution of Steem and give more Steemers a chance at succeeding!
Here's my little contribution to the gallery of Tree Hugging Photos! I'll make a nice collage with the best photos that you send in!
Here's What We're Looking For!
- Take a picture of you or a friend hugging a tree in order to give it scale!
- Attach the photo to the comments below or make a post using the tag "treehuggers"
- Minimum of 10 Steem in prizes!
- You have until this post pays out to send in your photos.
That's it! A simple fun contest/project that anyone can take part in!
I hope that you'll have fun with this post "Tree Tuesday Contest. Let's See Your Best Tree Hugging Photos!"
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
Hi, @kus-knee! I was visiting my father today. Right next to his house there is a small forest, with river included. There we find this great old tree called "Merecure". My father and I gave it this big hug.
I love this photograph. Thanks so much for sending it in and so nice to see father and daughter doing this together!
Thank you, that was a great moment!
Hi, @ kus-knee!
At the last minute I saw the contest. I left my job to despair and embrace a tree.
thanks for the contest I will do my post
Hahaha! Glad to hear this post inspired you to get you to go outside and hug a tree!!!
That's a beautiful tree that looks like so much fun to climb! Hehe 💗
So glad that you made it!!!!!
I had to go find a tree around my neighborhood to hug. Thanks to @trillex for helping out.
Great job. I love your photos!
Thank you! I enjoyed the experience.
You look so happy. I love the photo! Get some more Steemers to do the same! We need more trees!
I would try to convince my friends to join the contest.
Too bad I don't own this photo as I am sure it would win. Well, if "failed" hugs of trees were included too. I am just for the humor here, sir! The photo's not mine (Thank God lol).
Thanks for the laugh. It won't go in the gallery but it's a good fail!
Jajajajajaajajajajajajajjajaja!
That a very nice photo with wiponderful memories for you!
Beautiful group hug!!
What kind of tree is that? o:
Well, dear "Old Dog", here's another photographic challenge highly appealing to me. So, I just hatched a new post, the first since I was so sick over the passed week or so, and glad to find the inspiration to do so. Thanks to you, again.
Here's a link to the post, I hope you'll enjoy. I was wondering, should I also post the picture by itself here in the comment section as well or is the link to the article is enough? Here's both as it might be more appropriate...

You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!
That's one massive tree! Are you sure that you've got the photo on your main post? It didn't load for me.
It takes a little while to load maybe, but it seems to be coming up.
And I found this!

Hello, friends, this is my participation. Obviously the person in the photo, it's not me, it's my sister who kindly wanted to pose. It is worth noting that this is my first participation in steemit.

You're a magician. Just with one word from you, people around the world suddenly started to hug the trees.
Hahaha funny. I think people have been doing it for millenniums but now they can have fun and earn!

Hello @kus-knee My little daughter and I like trees a lot, they recharge us with the best energies. This is her enjoying that energy and the next one is me in the same tree :) Greetings from Venezuela.
So cute and loving! Thanks!
Thanks! Blessings
Beautiful pictures and so much love!
Children always seem to be the most in tune and excited to connect with our divinely selfless tree friends from what I've seen! Especially when I invite them climbing with me! Hehe
💗😄💗
LOVE I hope!!)! Hehehe!! Perhaps you can already imagine and deduce what they're going to be like from this comment! Hahaha! 😄 PS; @kus-nee I have several entries that are going to make you trip out (with LOTS of
That's right, children are wise naturally!
You should check out @QiQi-Power and @Noki-Power!! They're the most bad ass little girls I have ever had the honor of playing and climbing trees with, and learning from!!💗😄💗
What a great picture of a happy tree hugger!
Thank you so much 😀😚
Thank you for your contests - make steemit more diverse. Here is my entry - https://steemit.com/treehuggers/@cranium/son-i-and-tree
Very beautiful! Is that you're little child?
In the soul - we are all young children.
Oh thanks so much for sharing it here!
Thank you for this amazing idea! It feels so good to see all these people hugging trees and enjoying nature!
I’d like to share a picture of my son Dimitri. He loves nature and is teaching me so much about being present and appreciate the little things (
What a beautiful picture. What a joy it is to have our children!
He’s my biggest joy! That’s for sure :)
Hi Friend! This is my entry
Fantastic. Thanks!
Here is my entry:
Very good and a nice winter hug!
I love my tree
Very heart warming!
Wow I've never seen a heart-shaped tree before! Hahah that's so lovely!💗
Would you mind if I maybe use one of those pictures too?😄
This old cherry in our garden. We still do not dare to remove it, because it is very tasty and large berries on it. Too many memories she keeps. I wish you good luck and patience, @kus-knee!
You love the tree and it loves you!
I love the world that surrounds me). My family and all that I do)), Thank you for the evaluation!
You love the tree and it loves you!
My grandfather always said that trees listen and feel ... hugging them until they feel like our hearts come together is a magical experience because it is a moment in which we are one ...!Thank you @kus-knee for the invitation to remember things from the heart...
This is truly wonderful! Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot! Blessings!
Wonderful!
Thanks! Blessings 🙏
Hi! This is one of my good friends in his garden in Ronco sopra Ascona
if you want you can visit also his garden :-))) this is his contact :
siroturba@yahoo.it
That is fabulous! I LOVE that tree!
It's 30 years that I know this palm, she's abouth 45 - 50 years old ;-)))
That is very cool. So you played around that tree as a child. Maybe you moved around some sand or did some finger painting!
Yes I played often there as child :-D And I was exactly knowing that one day I want to be an artist :-)))
That first picture of the tree is soooooooo big, really cool. Here are two trees i showed love for
The first is from the green tea fields in south korea and the second is from bohemian switzerland national park
Wow what a booster, he wants to be taller as all, and like standing on its own a real ego tripper. Love it!
Very nice Tree Hugging shot!
Wooooow!! How beautiful! Where is this????
I'd love to climb the tree in your second picture! 💗😄💗
Thanks, second one is from Bohemian Switzerland national park in Czech Republic.
Oooooo I've traveled a lot but not through Europe! Perhaps after I'm healed I'll get the opportunity to climb this beautiful tree and rock!! 💗😄💗
Thanks for the info!
Thank you @kus-knee, this is my contribution. https://steemit.com/treehuggers/@pgfutrille/my-big-tree-is-a-small-bonsai
Nice hug! Thanks!
I'm hugging the tree!
Good job! A nice cold weather hug!
Thank you! I hope it's not too late.
My wife loves tree hugging!
That's a beauty!
Thanks! The tree was nice too!!
she truly loves this...
You should join her in on the hugs!!💗
Hopefully she doesn't leave you for a tree! I see and feel lots of love going on in this picture!😜 Hehe!
Haha I think I'm safe there, I do join her sometimes, mostly just take photos of the tree hugging!
Hahahah good on you! I was only joking of course :)
Enjoy those tree-somes! 😘🌳😜 Hehe!
Hi! I have always loved hugging trees! I believe they are spiritual beings and this one was amazing, I got my husband to take a photo of me hugging it! It was deep in a forest in Scotland, covered in moss it was such a great tree! - Verity
Love it! So Nice!
Thank you :)
wow nice shot loved it
Thank you so much!
After all, one of my friend helped me in this case :D He decided to hug a tree for me :D I don't know how many time he blamed me before that lol :D
Cheers~
@kus-knee,That's a beauty! Is your friend on Steemit?
In the process of registering! It seems take more time now to Confirmation!@kus-knee,
Cheers~
This one I will join for sure. Is that a real tree up to the left ?? That's insane - where is it ?
The first picture is in Tenerife.
More Pics of it
That's the coolest tree I ever saw - looks almost like a coral- that tree must have seen a lot in its life
Hello friend @kus-knee! This is a giant tree called the mammoth! https://steemit.com/treehuggers/@olga.maslievich/treehuggers-i-m-hanging-on-a-mammoth
So beautiful!!!!
And in your country grows a mammoth tree?
Very nice. I'm sure that the tree appreciated it!
To climb a tree, you have to hug a tree.
True, and soooooo nice!
Very true!! Hahaha
That's why I'm still curious, would pictures at the tippy top of a tree count as hugging since they involved so much hugging to get there? Heheh.
It's really relaxing and reassuring (giving a feeling of safety) to breath the trees freshly produced oxygen deeply, and hugging them multiple times the higher you go!
Dear friend @kus-knee! Thanks to your competition, I found my old photos on which I hug the trees. And I saw in them an exclamation. Previously, I did not pay attention to them and thought that these are just pictures where I am near the trees. Now I see that this is not just pictures, but an original piece of art. Thank you for the competition! See my attachments in your contest. That's how I showed my creativity in my post for your contest #treehuggers: https://steemit.com/treehuggers/@bugavi/treehuggers-a-little-friend-of-trees-trees-his-friends-4-photos-little-bugavi-from-bugavi
Very nice. I UPVOTED your post as well!
Hello @kus-knee :) Since I can remember, this avocado tree has been in our backyard, and we've always enjoyed all the gifts it's given to us. However, I don't think anyone ever hugged it! So I did.
Just lovely!
Reading this morning about this interesting contest, I asked my parents to help me participate. Here my mother hugging the biggest tree in the neighborhood. A Ceiba.
(I will be hugging a tree this week, and ask someone to take a picture. But I did want to share a tree I did not hug, because we were not allowed to come any closer, the call it the grandad from all trees, it is enormous, and such a rest giving place, although the thousands of tourist which come and look every time. You could just touch hands with 40 people around the trunk!
Wow amazing. I look forward to your hugging picture!
WOW! 40 People?!?!? I hope I can hug this tree some day too!!
Have you hugged this godly tree yet @kus-knee???
Hey. Although I do not hug a tree, but it's beautiful. This is Ukraine, Crimea, Partenit village, the territory of a military sanatorium.
.jpg)
Привет. Хотя я не обнимаю дерево, но оно красиво. Это Украина, Крым, поселок Партенит, территория военного санатория.
It is a pity that I did not hug him.
You can hug another tree. They all need love! :)
That is a very nice tree and worthy of admiration but we need a picture of a human hugging a tree. :)
FANTASTIC! What a beautiful tree and a very nice hug! Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Thank you!!! It's nice to embrace such an oak on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord.
hello, friends, thin and small trees, they also deserve love. Here I leave you my evidence of hug.
I agree. Nice entry for our gallery!
Hello, @kus-knee!
Here is my entry:
Great thanks!
I was searching for the perfect tree and i couldn't find it but it was in my garden all along
Well done my friend!
Oh God, I think this is an amazing idea. I'm mountaineer, so I usually am surrounded by trees. Frequently, I hug them in order to receive some positive energy from nature. Can you believe I haven't any pic about it yet? Hope to do it soon. Grettings!
There's still time!
My photo from Sunday's walk in the woods with my Old Dog!
perfect and just in time!
Late but safe. This is my post for the challenge. Greetings from Venezuela. https://steemit.com/treehuggers/@cronosclocks/the-teddy-tree
Great, you forget to put an image here but I did it for you! Thanks for stopping by!
Reaching For The Heart
Yesterday in the park with my wife giving a little warmth to the heart tree!
That's great. Is it near where you live?
Yes its in our neighborhood park.
