The Old Dog Announces: Our Tree Hugging Competion Winners and Photo Gallery!
Here are some collages of the great fun that we had with this Tree Hugging contest.
There were 49 photos chosen to be in the gallery and I've picked winners in 7 fun categories with each winner getting 2 Steem sent to their account.
Each category winner has their photo in the center of the collage with the rest randomly scattered around. Can you find yourself in every collage? Enjoy!
Category: Just Made it at The last Minute!
@giftofspirit ran out of work in a panic to have this picture taken. It was worth it!
Category: Best Smile While Hugging a Tree!
How could we pick anyone other than the man in the photo taken by @woleybabz of his freind @trillex. Will you be splitting your prize with him?
Category: The Most Lovable Hug!
What an adorable photo of @naturald. That tree looks so loved!
Category: Gained The Most Energy From The Experience!
There was no doubt that it had to be this woman who was photographed by @eric-boucher! She gained a lot of power from this hug!
Category: The Most Embarrassed While Hugging The Tree!
@adetolajide was a bit shy to hug her first tree but she looks great and now apparently she does it all the time! :)
Category: Most Emotional Hugger!
@skiesandsports's wife is really feeling the experience and her expression tells it all!
Category: The Most Impressive Tree!
There were a lot of huge trees in these pictures but this one caught my eye because it wasn't in the forest but right beside the house! Look at how the tree dwarfs @luiscarsamuray's mother!
I'll be Sending Out The Prizes in The Next 24 Hours!
Payments will go out in the next 24 hours so watch your wallets and let's all continue to be amazed by the possibility of sending funds with zero cost! The Graphene blockchains are the world's best! Fast, furious and we can scale! Feel the pride, feel the joy and experience the power of our Steem blockchain!
I hope that you enjoyed this tree hugging photo competition. You guys made it a lot of fun and I thank you for your participation!
Until next time,

I did not expect that there will be so many beautiful photos in this contest. It is very joyful to observe such a happy union with nature!
Yes, so many Steemers joined in the fun!
Because you create original, wonderful contests!
Oh :-o the whole week we said we have to go and hug a tree! Today I did it!
I know I can not win a prize anymore, but at least you know I gave a tree a bit of love! :-) She is in my back garden and she is actually taking to much sun away, but I love her! And like this month she is gaining the power to get beautiful leaves again, her juices are well going. She is beautiful!

What a lovely sight. Thanks for sending it in! Better late than never!
thank you! I rather would have been on time, but it was so wet, and we all had a bit of a flue. Thank you for organizing things like this! What a beautiful pictures are taken :-o
