Theres just something about the beauty of the sun. Whether itβs rising or setting it always makes me feel at peace. Staring at itβs beauty as it gently shines across a beautiful landscape puts me in a tranquil state.
This is a Challenge hosted by the Loving Hive Community called Tribute to the Community!
It is an opportunity to show our love and appreciation for the lovely communities that have been graciously created and organized for us to enjoy here on Hive.

Anytime I see fresh fruit and vegetables it reminds me that eating whole foods are whatβs best for my entire being. It motivates me to get out ingredients and cook my family a healthy meal.
Today I am paying tribute to a community I am apart of both member and administrative wise.
The Stock Images Community was developed in order to reward our very own Hivians in the form of a tip or adding them as a beneficiary for using their stock images. Instead of outsourcing images we can choose an image right here in our own home from the Main Index.
This is a salute to the artists that share their work making it available for all Hivers to use.
This is an acclamation to the consistent quality of images brought forth by our contributors.
This is a recognition to those that use these images and follow the wishes of the artists by giving them credit and rewarding them.
This is a thank you to the many supporters of this community who spread the word, upvote, reblog the posts and stop by to compliment and encourage the work thatβs submitted.
This community doesnβt get as much engagement as others which is understandable. Most of the comments consist of giving feedback for the images that are submitted.
However, it is nice to see the artists encourage and uplifting one another. There also may be occasional users that stop by to give acknowledgement to the quality of work they see too.
Contributors - please keep up the great work and continue rolling in those images! You never know how far this initiative will go and where it could take you ;)

Just when you think you have seen it all you are introduced to another amazing creature. When I see beautiful intriguing insects it amazes me just how many different species of them there are. God never ceases to amaze me with his creations!
I cannot give a tribute to this Community without giving appreciation and recognition to the founder of it.
I am truly grateful for @minismallholding and the work she does throughout the chain. One of her attributes is supporting people and spreading the word about other wonderful initiatives so everyone can benefit.
When I first saw that she created this initiative to reward artists I knew as a photographer and needle artist I wanted to help it succeed. I wanted to be involved with helping fellow Hivians get extra rewards for making their art available. Thus, she graciously accepted me as part of her team to help get things rolling :D
As an artist it means a lot to me to be recognized and have my work valued and treasured by others. How much more amazing would it be to actually see my work being used in their post? - Oh quite amazing that would be!!!
Iβm not sure if you ever took the time to view the indexes that @minismallholding has put together for us to easily find an image we need? Well let me do the honors of a few screenshots so you can get a sense of all the work thatβs put into this:
...and thereβs much more to scroll through in the Main Index!
As you can see at the top there are also sub indexes she has created for even easier reference of options...
I admire her sense of need and opportunity! We thank her for setting up this community for us to share and use amazing images for our blog posts ~

Iβve had apiphobia since I was in my mid 20βs. Being stung by a bee by surprise in the lip while drinking a can of soda at age 7 caused a major negative impact in my life. In my early teens I was stung by a swarm of wasps three times in my back. When I hear them buzzing it triggers my fear and anxiety. No matter how riveting these insects are I will never be comfortable around them due to my childhood encounters with them.
So what would be the point of making our images available for use without users?
We appreciate each one of you who have been using our images and giving credits as well as a token of appreciation. Without you it wouldnβt be worth our while.
Thank you for taking the time to search through the Hive index instead of outsourcing images. It means a great deal that you want to support your friends and acquaintances by utilizing our contributions.
I invite everyone to first search through the main index to see if we have what you are looking for before seeking outside of Hive for images.
We need YOU to help this initiative grow and by spreading the word about what weβre doing here. You can do this by using the images and giving credits and also by reblogging any Stock Images post.
Thank you in advance for making what we do more relevant ;)

A flower always does the trick. Especially a field of gorgeous flowers. Thereβs beauty in the bloom. I love flowers that stand out...thatβs exactly my personal aim - to stand out and shine being an inspirational example to help uplift the world :)
Being apart of a supportive platform also makes me smile. I enjoy spending my time here because of the positive experiences and the fun friendly people I get to interact with.
So to wrap up my tribute I want to end with a challenge for you...
The first 3 Hivers that use an image from the Stock Images Main Index, credits the artist and provides them with a tip or adds them as a beneficiary of your post...I will reward each of you with 5 Hbd! You must add a link to your post in the comments below and show a screenshot of proof that you have credited the artist.

Loving all you do for the community, @crosheille.
I'm going to add this here, as a demonstration of part of what we're trying to do for the community, because those utilising Hive Stock Images are as important as those providing them. We want to be able to reward all who get involved. We'll be dropping by and leaving tips for those who use Hive Stock Images and credit the creator of them.
Thank you for using stock images provided by other Hivers and crediting them. We love to see this and have given you a tip on your post.
