Hidden Gems no.5

in #underappreciatedposts7 years ago (edited)

I have accepted a mission: to explore strange new blogs, to seek out new posts and new minnows, to boldly go where no Steemian has gone before! yes, I'm a geek...

The Mission


I will be trawling through this very platform hunting out those hidden gems, the undiscovered countries of newly arrived promising authors, freshly spawned minnows if you like. I wish to put a spotlight on those I think are deserving of a much wider audience.

@kate-m is a recent arrival to Steemit and she was spotted and suggested by @cryptologyx

GMuxx, just stubbed my toe on a lovely Gem in my feed and thought I'd send it your way...

@kate-m's introduction post is fantastically well written and has great photographs of her time spent in Brazil seeking out wild food and the agroecology scene there.

Next up I have chosen to feature @steemitadventure, another newcomer.

https://steemit.com/art/@steemitadventure/my-first-post-my-what-big-claws-you-have-werewolf-art

He is a wonderfully gifted artist and has been a joy to get to know in chat at PALnet. Definitely worth a follow.

I do enjoy being taken on virtual journeys to exotic destinations and @fronttowardenemy's post did just that.

https://steemit.com/travel/@fronttowardenemy/death-taxes-and-beef-jerky-da-nang-vietnam-viet-road-trip-day-10

In this post he describes day 10 of a road trip through Vietnam on his trusty scooter. Very descriptive with photographs and helmet cam footage decorating his post.

@liberty-minded takes us on a fishing trip in Jacksonville next, hunting for flounder.

His magnificent photos are the focus of the post, interrupted only with commentary of the day's events.

Finally I would like to introduce you to @nnnhhh

https://steemit.com/life/@nnnhhh/you-are-mediocre-and-here-s-why-you-should-embrace-it

A recently born Steemian who shows great promise with this well written piece dispelling the myth that we all should be perfect. He sums it up perfectly with this following quote:

The only way you can grow and make progress is by first accepting yourself for who you are.



Please check out their blogs and, if you agree with me, give them a follow. I am sure they will appreciate it and your feed will be filled with more great work in the future.

Do you know of any undiscovered gems worthy of sharing? An artist, writer, blogger or singer/performer who could benefit from appearing in these regular posts? Drop me a message in Steemit chat with a link to their work and I will consider them for future inclusion.

I have also begun a #steemgig where I will pay you 5 SBD for every post submitted by you that I feature on these posts.

See below for details.

Special Mention

If you are on the lookout for more established Steemians you can do no better than visiting @cem and his regular Who to Follow Daily (WTF!). He first regales you with a humorous look at his day then presents you with a list of THE accounts to follow on Steemit.
