The Old Dog ( @kus-knee )has introduced
another of his stellar contests
which help motivate and reward steemians!
@onceupontime, being an ornery contrarian
I have VERY carefully perused the rules of this contest
and have found NO mention of any rule
that says the tree being hugged (the hugee)
must be a living tree.
And so I introduce to you
The one and only Old Dog himself
eating his own dog food
By hugging a (DEAD) tree!
ouzo and out,
@onceuponatime
That is soooo funny!...
Somehow I just knew that you would appreciate it!
Omg, priceless!!!
Beautiful tree hugging i need to find a tree too ;)
Don't go looking in bars. Just go to places where trees that have the same interests and values as you hang out :-)
Interesting picture .What is this statue symbolizing and how old is it? On all continents, there was a carving on wood, and now it exists because it refers to art.

Oooh is that @andrarchy?
People are very inovetive
Amazing work!.. Congratulations!!!
What does it symbolize to you?
@onceuponatime he is for the head bigger but he know who is the boss hahahaha
It\s always good to know who is the boss!
Hehehe yaas it is but keep him under control he is big hahaha
This is a masterpiece of wood! It suits you @onceuponatime :) I also visited a unique lawn!
Wow very nice one and natural. That pic is really funny.
It feels good to see this contest @kus-knee
In addition to increasing the sheer number of people who interact with your brand, this contest provides a means to deepen the connection as well.
I also like the fact that what he asks in his contest is commensurate with what he offers in return.
In addition to original pictures we will post as part of the entry process, we can also learn a great deal from the interaction and conversation that takes place around the contest, so be sure to be a part of it. Whats hard in hugging a tree and taking the picture. :)
One of the easiest contests i have seen on steemit. Contests are a great way of being recognized in this community and to have fun while earning a few bucks on your way to it :)
Thanks @onceuponatime and @kus-knee.
This is quite interesting. I wish I could have seen it sooner. Do I still have a chance to join? I would love to participate. And you'll get the success. I'm sure that. You are in the best, sir. :) @onceuponatime
I will cast you in the race, sir :)
Click the link to @kus-knee's post. Read how to participate. There is still time.

Loool good idea :)) success in competition @onceuponatime
Are you Brotherhood ,? hehee
Well, at least I'm pretty sure that we are not a Sisterhood.
its looks very enjoyable @onceuponatime. Thanks for sharing contest photo.
Good challenge :) You are beautiful couple :D
They really are a beautiful couple. That is why I had to snap the pic :-)
You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!
One has to be careful as to which tree you hug.
This is a Camel Thorn, do not try to hug this one.
This is why......
I don't know. Looks a lot less "prickly" than some of the people I had to hug :-)
I agree
its so cool feelings to hug tree and also your hugging with this is look more cool sir
thank you for sharing a very different article @onceuponatime
“and have found NO mention of any rule
that says the tree being hugged (the hugee)
must be a living tree”
Or a human being hugging real living tree.
Exactly!

wow great pics! the colors and the hugee trees look amazing !

That's not a tree anymore, its been carved already. So it looks more like a sculpture. That man is hugging a product of art....nice one anyway...
Trees are like the Marines. Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Old dog hugging tree
Note-Original photo is not clicked by me. This is for fun.
Nice choice. It really captures the spirit of this.
it's fine as long as it does not hug you back
Unrequited hug is a trauma not many can endure.
Very nice entry.. the old dog hugging.. I guess you will be in the hall of fame now for sure.. ;-)
Love trees ! and totem poles !!👍😀🌞
And they love you dear.
Awesome!!!! I too had posted for that competition.Look at the logic you have.Lol.Anyway it is a great capture.I too brought the the logic that my hug is not physical but i have hugged them from my heart when I posted it there
-cheers-
I bet that the hugs coming from your heart are very powerful!
What an awesome image I love I would like to do this on Easter Island that there are totems of those greetings a big hug for you friend
I think the Easter Island ones are cold as stone though.
You nailed this one too :D
Nailed the coffin shut?
That's a nice contest sir..... I start a find these one travel around my location.
Now THAT is erotic!!!!
Quite fun....SO excited fun competition.
Somethings happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear.
Having faith in rules and laws is akin to having faith in human omniscience.
Trust, but verify.
That's a very eccentric in an awesome way - from an environmental point of view - contest. Unfortunately, I don't have such photo of myself to participate, but I will fully root for you (I am sticking with Loutraki after all). Up-voted and resteemed! Good luck, Mr. Vader ;)
I think that your sister is looking for someone to photograph her hugging a tree so she could enter the contest. Are you man enough?
(and then she could return the favour)
@onceuponatime challenge accepted, Mr. Vader. You will have to follow me though because you will see her post but not mine (plus you will be missing my wacky facts and withought your comments, thet ain't the same he he). Fair enough?
PS. You can pick the location of the photo. Corinth or Loutraki? Not a more distant destination though because then I may charge you for the gas of my mom's prehistoric car ;) LOL
Are you driving your mom's prehistoric car to the Meetup in Athens?
Yep, want to join us? I am wearing glasses, you will be safe ;)
I do need a ride. Just how "old" is your mother's car?
Ahhhhh come on, Lord Vader! It's not that old...Let's just say that it has the same age with the Parthenon (give or take a year) he he. Here's a picture of mom's car from 4-5 months ago (just ignore the woman in there, she's an ex and I don't think it would be moral to show her face)
)
PS. Me and my sis are about to go take a tree photo and complete the challenge! Where's my follow? :P
Have to admit that there are no violations of rules, that hug can be considered as a genuine tree hug!
I'm sure that lonely wooden sculpture has no objections too :d
What do you think that the "distinguished panel of judge" will say though? I think he is just looking for a reason to disqualify me :-)
The artistry of this photo breaks all boundaries of the definition of art far and beyond so even the old doge himself wouldn't dare to disqualify such a masterpiece!
wow cool man this is the greatedt hug from all kus-knee hug in coments with this beautifull tree like a man,,
i appriciate who make it the part of best art hope you enjoy to when you went to near it and hug it @onceupon a time,,
where is this?
Just take a right turn where most people would go left, and you'll find it :-)
@onceuponatime,
Lol you used @kus-knee's photography to participate his contest :D That's what we call as destiny :D
This is great and I am still thinking how to get one without showing my face :D
Cheers~
Why, do you have a face that only a tree could love? :-)
@onceuponatime,
I am thinking to reveal my face on my birth day :D Wanna find someone to hug a tree :D Actually it's not that easy in my country :D
Cheers~
I am city's child.. I prefer to hug my couch.. :pppppp
If I am to be honest, me too!
I am very happy that i met you..I hope you learn quickly Greek language..😀😀...have a nice evenings..
I need to find a big tree to go and hug and I will enter the contest too 😂!!!
Even little trees need hugs :-)
@onceuponatime challenge accomplished ;)
Well, that' really nice. But telling me doesn't get you entered in the contest.

Well if you go down at the very end of the entries you'll see mine! Last but not least 😉!!
It is an interesting contest. I would like to participate, but it's difficult for me to hug a tree. I think I will try though.
thanks for sharing!! @onceupontime ☺
Be creative!
I will try my best!!!
Thank you!! @onceupontime ☺
lool.
Only You.
🌞🌞🌞🌞
Wrong! It was @twiceuponatime made me do it :-)

I've always wanted to do that!!!!
hahahaha noooo! Try to do it in a tree that is not yours... and don't let them see you either!! 🤫 🤐 🙈
Im quite sure it wasn't the purpose of the post, but it makes me wanna go out and hug one myself too :/ (just to see whats all the fuss about)
Remind me to wear a tree uniform when we meet :-)
hahah the human tree!
Don't pick the fruit though!!!!
LOL!
lol
Are you laughing at me trumpman?
Yes :D
Well, I suppose honesty is the best policy. (But not when a woman asks you if her new dress makes her look fat)
I am also ready to find a tree to click such a snap
@onceuponatime
Have a look on my post/work i have posted on you.
About football shirt with editing please
Now that is cool!
just imagine after my hug the tree getting alive and giving me hug in nights
What kind of thoughts are those swimming around in that mind of yours?
Creative and funny as you always are, at least on your latest posts!
I saw the challenge a few days ago, but unfortunately didn't have time to hug a tree and take a picture! But I think I must change this on Saturday!
"You have until this post pays out to send in your photos."
