7years on the Blockchain and celebrating with phone photography tulips

avatar

May 6th, 2017 is the day my application for an account was finally accepted on the blockchain. I had received a Facebook message several weeks before from @uwelang encouraging me to check out this place called Steem. We had both been on a failed platform called TSU and I was looking for a place to fill some time after devoting the previous year caring for my partner before he died of cancer.
Back in those days it took what seemed like forever to receive an account, and
after about a month I had almost forgotten applying! I'm so glad I decided to open that email! Then I spent a month looking around before I began posting.

@good-karma had just begun developing eSteem app and I was thrilled to be able to use my mobile to use the site. Multiple Sclerosis was making it more difficult for me to use a keyboard and being able to swype on my phone and post my photos opened up a whole new world for me.
In January of 2018 I started the Shadow Contest and @ecency offered to sponsor the contest and has been the No1 sponsor for all 320 Rounds! Shadow Hunters and Feathered Friends Community were two of the first communities created on the blockchain.

The move to Hive was a relief after the centralized takeover, and after everything @ecency had given me it was an easy decision to give back! Today Ecency is my home base and I spend all my time doing what I can to help retain Ecencials and help them grow their accounts!

These tulip photos were taken this past weekend at the Chicago Botanical Gardens and I'm sharing them as a reminder to come enter the Phonography Contest hosted by @untilwelearn.

Congratulations! 👍
I was on TSU, too, and when it stopped and could not continue, I was looking for something new.
Ecency is an excellent app for me. Developers are trying their best, too, but with your efforts, it is what it is now.

Happy Hive Birthday !

It's a better place because you are here.

I love your tulip photos. That first one is so wonderful with the tulips under the weeping willows?... (weeping trees of some sort.)

Hope you've had a fun day.

I used to have a dog that would dig up and eat my hyacinth bulbs. I don't know why what you said made me think of that. The last house I lived in, one summer I had some giant light green hostas and the deer ate those. I had never seen a deer there before as it was in an old, large, residential neighborhood, but it wasn't that far "as the crow flies" that there were big forests. One morning I saw 3 behind my yard, the next day, all the hostas were eaten down to the ground !

Hostas=deer salad. Our local botanical garden did not plant any tulips this year after having $70, 000 worth of bulbs eaten last year before they bloomed.

Your journey is so inspiring. I am fortunate to have a guide and guru like you who supports me in every step of my Hive Journey. Today the Ecency is home to Me and many other Ecencials, because you have loved and supported all of us equally like members of this house. Now we're all one big family!
So I would say, thank you for adopting us.😅 And congratulations for this amazing journey and achievements of seven years. You are doing great and will do even better in the future. 😊 🙏

So, you were in TSU also. That platform failed twice! It's been overrun by a plagued of Tsumbies! (Tsu zombies). I was also in steemit but got discouraged by the "unbalanced" tipping, so to speak.
How I wish I found Hive sooner. This is a wonderful platform.

Congratulations for your 7 years here and for the successful shadow hunter challenges. Keep it up

I didn't bother going back to TSU during the 2nd rebirth. Fool me once, and all that!
