Oh, the colonnade of the Palace on the Water (Lazienki Palace) in Warsaw’s Royal Lazienki. White peacocks roam here 🦚🏛️
What do you think of this aesthetic? It’s so beautiful. The peacocks fit perfectly into this setting.
These are photos from my trip. Every day we looked for new places to visit, explore, and admire the architecture.
The peacocks caught my attention even more. The building itself is very beautiful. But the peacocks create such a wonderful atmosphere. The building is large, with a lake right across from it. It’s a wonderful place to take a walk, have a good time, and admire the beautiful view.

[Eng-Esp] A spooktacular workout! This is what Halloween is like at the gym 🎃💪//¡Entrenamiento de miedo! Así se vive Halloween en el gimnasio 🎃💪

Hello, friends of the Hive—it’s a pleasure to greet you once again. Today, I want to share with you how fun and creative the atmosphere at the gym has become in light of the Halloween season. Working out is always an excellent way to take care of our health, but doing so in a themed space—filled with surprises and spooky details—adds a completely different level of energy and motivation.

Hola amigos de la colmena, es un placer saludarles en esta nueva oportunidad. Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes lo divertido y creativo que se ha puesto el ambiente en el gimnasio con motivo de la temporada de Halloween. Entrenar siempre es una excelente manera de cuidar nuestra salud, pero hacerlo en un espacio temático, lleno de sorpresas y detalles espeluznantes, le añade un toque de energía y motivación totalmente diferente.

As you can see in the images, the theme is present in every corner of the facility. From the enormous black spider—crafted from balloons with dangling legs—that greets us on the wall, to the various workout zones adorned with eerie details. The stationary bike and machine area features themed decorations and hanging cobwebs, making every pedal stroke feel like a unique adventure. Elsewhere in the gym, you’ll find elements like balloons decorated with iconic horror-movie faces, as well as a hanging figure—inspired by a bloodied ghost—that adds a chilling yet highly original touch to the space. Blending fitness with these seasonal festivities makes daily routines more dynamic, breaking the monotony and bringing a smile to our faces as we give our all during every exercise. It is, without a doubt, a fantastic way to celebrate this time of year without losing sight of our wellness goals.

Como pueden ver en las imágenes, la temática está presente en cada rincón del establecimiento. Desde la enorme araña negra hecha con globos y patas colgantes que nos da la bienvenida en la pared, hasta las diferentes zonas de entrenamiento adornadas con detalles espeluznantes. El área de las bicicletas fijas y las máquinas cuenta con decoraciones temáticas y telarañas colgantes que hacen que pedalear se sienta como una aventura distinta, mientras que otras secciones del gimnasio muestran elementos como globos decorativos con rostros icónicos de terror y una figura colgante inspirada en un fantasma ensangrentado que aporta un toque tétrico pero muy original al espacio. Combinar el fitness con estas festividades hace que las rutinas diarias sean más dinámicas, rompiendo la monotonía y sacándonos una sonrisa mientras damos lo mejor de nosotros en cada ejercicio. Sin duda, es una forma genial de celebrar esta época del año sin dejar de lado nuestros objetivos de bienestar.

Un árbol especial / A Special Tree

marpa — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 10:06:09 GMT

Un pájaro llega a la cocina
y en algo pone su vista,
con cautela supervisa
y se esconde enseguida,
entre frascos de pequeña medida.

Tras un rato sirvo en el plato,
un brócoli bien cocinado,
lo dejo enfriando
y el pájaro se acerca afanado
y toma un buen pedazo.

A bird flies into the kitchen
and sets its sights on something;
it watches cautiously
and hides right away,
among the small jars.

After a while, I serve on a plate
some well-cooked broccoli;
I let it cool,
and the bird comes hurrying over
and takes a big bite.

Y aunque está pesado
poco a poco se lo va llevando,
va contento el pájaro
y se marcha de inmediato,
con mi brócoli preciado.

Por suerte deja un poco en el plato
y yo lo tomó afanado,
me lo como un buen pedazo
para saber si está bien sazonado
o si le falta algo.

And even though it’s heavy,
little by little it carries it off;
the bird is happy
and flies away right away,
with my precious broccoli.

Luckily, it leaves a little on the plate,
and I grab it quickly;
I eat a good chunk of it
to see if it’s seasoned just right
or if it’s missing something.

El pájaro sigue su camino
con el brócoli va tranquilo
hasta que llega a un lugar baldío
un desierto sin brillo
y ahí deja la verdura sin motivo.

Con su ala lo trata de acomodar
es que quería traer color al lugar
este parece un árbol de verdad
ahora el pájaro muy feliz está
porque tiene una planta en medio de tanta soledad.

The bird continues on its way,
carrying the broccoli calmly,
until it reaches a barren place,
a dreary desert,
and there it leaves the vegetable for no reason.

It tries to arrange it with its wing;
it just wanted to bring some color to the place.
It looks just like a real tree,
and now the bird is very happy
because it has a plant in the midst of all that desolation.

The Kind of Life I Hope to Build for My Family

leemah1 — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:43:33 GMT

Sometimes, I sit quietly and think about the kind of life I really want for myself and my family. Honestly, it is not even about becoming extremely wealthy or having everything figured out. I just want a life where we can breathe, enjoy ourselves, travel when we feel like it, and not have to worry about too many unnecessary things.
https://img.leopedia.io/DQmcP5TAddkGnw7EW5RfjVvYDNErc2WLNYs17KbVFUR4tbU/1000290054.jpg

I imagine waking up one morning and deciding that we need a little family vacation. Nothing too complicated. Just packing our bags, getting our passports ready, holding our little one's hands at the airport, and looking forward to spending some beautiful days somewhere new. I want to see the excitement on our children's face when they experience something different for the first time.

Those little moments might seem ordinary to other people, but I believe they are the kind of memories that stay with a family forever, also I want financial peace. And when I say financial peace, I don't mean having millions sitting in the bank just to show off. I mean being able to take care of our needs without constantly calculating what will be left afterwards. I want to be able to pay our bills, save for the future, handle emergencies, and still have enough to enjoy life.

There is something comforting about knowing that your family is financially secure and that one unexpected expense won't throw everything into confusion. But above all these things, I want peace of mind.

As I grow older, I find myself becoming more careful about the kind of energy I allow around me. Not every friendship needs to be maintained, and not every relationship deserves unlimited access to your life. Sometimes, you can genuinely wish people well and still understand that keeping your distance is better for your happiness.

I don't think there is anything wrong with choosing your family, your happiness, and your mental space. We spend so much time trying to please people, explaining our decisions, and worrying about opinions that may not even matter in the long run. Meanwhile, life is passing, and we are missing out on the very things that should make us happy.

I want a home where laughter is normal, where our little one feels loved and secure, and where my partner and I can enjoy each other's company without unnecessary drama. A home where we can have our silly moments, disagree sometimes, make up, learn together, and continue building the life we have always imagined.

I know life will not always be perfect, there will be difficult days, unexpected challenges, and moments when things won't go according to plan. But I hope that, even during those times, we will always have each other and remember why we started building this life in the first place.

I am learning that happiness doesn't always have to be loud. Sometimes, it is simply having food in the kitchen, money for the important things, a healthy and happy child, someone to share your day with, and the freedom to sleep peacefully without carrying other people's problems on your shoulders.That is the kind of richness I pray for.

A life filled with genuine love, beautiful memories, financial stability, family adventures, and, most importantly, peace.I hope that one day, when I look around at the life we have built, I will smile and realise that all the little efforts, sacrifices, and quiet prayers were worth it.

Thanks for checking on my blog and have a wonderful day

A veces lo improvisado sale mejor que lo planeado. 💄✨ Maquillaje exprés en el trabajo para una sesión inolvidable. ¡Disfrutando cada paso de su sueño!

Español:
¡Qué ironía tan hermosa es la vida! Tuvimos que maquillar a mi princesa un día distinto a su acto, directo en mi lugar de trabajo y con el tiempo en contra. Sin tanta planificación, logré un resultado tan natural y fresco que, sinceramente, ¡me gustó mucho más que el del día principal! Menos es más, y el amor siempre se nota.
Logré salir media hora antes y corrí a acompañarla. Aunque no me dejaron entrar, busqué el ángulo perfecto desde afuera para capturar cada momento. Disfruto cada segundo de esta etapa; verla apasionada por lo mismo que a mí me encanta es un sueño cumplido. ¡Hasta me dan ganas de aprender a bailar! Pero hoy el brillo es todo suyo y me llena de orgullo ser su fan número uno.
English:
What a beautiful irony life is! We had to do my princess's makeup on a different day from her recital, right at my workplace and racing against the clock. Without much planning, I achieved a result so natural and fresh that, honestly, I liked it even more than the one for the main event! Less is more, and love always shines through.
I managed to leave work half an hour early and ran to join her. Although they wouldn't let me inside, I found the perfect angle from the outside to capture every moment. I enjoy every second of this journey; seeing her passionate about the same things I love is a dream come true. It even makes me want to learn how to dance! But today, the spotlight is entirely hers, and I am so proud to be her number one fan.

The calmness effects our nature brings to us...!

Hi people,
How are we all doing today, this is that day the Month of October, 2026 is on a quarter to go moment. In less than 72 hours now, we shall be in the New Month of November, 2026, which is also on another quarter to go from this year, almost the last Month in the year.....2026,.

We have already put lots of our endeavors to work or into actions this year trying to improve ourselves, but heee, never you give up, the best is yet to come to play. Keep trying, keep working and keep being yourself as well, keep being grateful......🌹.

I just loved these appearances in the sky, I then decided to capture them one after the other and decided also to share them with us. See all that I saw while just moving around the neighborhood, trying to stretch out my body and my legs after my daily routine and activities....

I love this colour of the sky above us right now. This was towards the evening time, when the birds and the domestic animals are getting ready to go to bed.

Did you know that goats do get to bed very early...?, like that time around the evening, let's say from 6 PM. Then, from like 8 0 clock, goats are already deeply sleeping in their different stables, ooooh 😂, this is a lovely discovery I made by myself because I have been raising some goats in my area, I have just learned some of their attitudes and behaviors, anyway that's a story for another day.

Nature and the natural scenery is fantastic, amazing and amazingly beautiful. I love staring at the sky to see their different evolving colours in some evenings when the sun is setting or about to set for the day, it helps me to appreciate life and the nature we see all around us on a daily basis.

After strolling around, I came back home calm and calculated.... This was two days ago...🤠😇.

Thank you for enjoying my evening stroll with me.

Thank you as well for reaching out to my blog, keep coming, that's why we're here.

All pictures are mine

Advance Purchases

alexa.art — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 04:49:18 GMT

Hoy salimos a comprar algunas cosas, es algo que tenia planeado desde hace mucho ya que mi hijo está creciendo extremadamente rápido y la ropa la pierde cuando menos nos damos cuenta y eso nos ha llevado a ahorrar algo de dinero para poder salir a comprarle las cosas mas necesarias. La cuestión es que necesitaba tanto ropa de estar en casa como ropa para salir, es realmente una locura lo rápido que crece…

Today we went out to buy a few things—it’s something I’d been planning for a long time, since my son is growing extremely fast and outgrows his clothes before we even realize it, which has led us to save up some money so we could go out and buy him the essentials. The thing is, he needed both clothes for around the house and clothes for going out—it’s really crazy how fast he’s growing.

Y lo que parecía una tarea facil se convirtió en 8 horas de caminata y probar ropa en diferentes lugares, aparte de que no le gustaba la ropa que veíamos, en algunos sitios había ropa extremadamente costosa o no había variedad, me sorprende lo mucho que cuesta conseguir ropa para NIÑO, en cambio para niña hay demasiada ropa incluso dos pisos enteros para ellas. De verdad que el agotamiento que siento es inmenso, pasamos desde la mañana hasta la noche buscando la ropa perfecta para mi hijo.

And what seemed like an easy task turned into an 8-hour trek of trying on clothes at different stores—not only did he not like the clothes we saw, but some places had extremely expensive items or lacked variety. I’m surprised at how hard it is to find clothes for BOYS; on the other hand, there’s an abundance of clothes for girls—even two entire floors dedicated to them. I really feel completely exhausted—we spent the entire day, from morning until night, looking for the perfect clothes for my son.

Lo bueno es que conseguimos todo pero se gastó bastante dinero incluso mas del que pensábamos, las cosas no estan para nada económicas, con lo que gaste hoy, probablemente hace uno o dos años hubiese comprado el doble, al menos doy gracias de que pude lograr esta compra que me tenia tan nerviosa y compramos tanto ropa de estar en casa como ropa para salir, aun faltan mas cositas pero me toca volver a empezar de cero a reunir jaja.

Some Misconceptions about GEMS community

bluemist — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 16:03:45 GMT

Its been more than a month now since inception of GEMS community. We are thrilled to see the postive feedback from users and glad to see it contributing towards Hive ecosystem as a whole.

In this short span of time, we have became the no. 1 community with highest count of Active Posters and Interactions than any other community. This is the only community which supports all kinds of languages and not restricted to English only.

There are many aspect of building any blockchain foundation and in our case they consists of stakeholders, developers, curators and authors. Some people might be focused on developing one thing and completely stagnant in other. Our main motive behind formation of this community was to recognize undervalued authors and posts. Its has only been a month and I am happy with current trending of GEMS community because we don't get to see same names on trending again and again. There are only few who care to highlight more unique and undervalued posts. I believe this is another one of our objective completed because rewards distribution is more diversified.

![C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iNg1no3aWSriF8RceS89tRBQdkecpWaQStNNhc2krnYzBE9qZ8uk69sX5TDMFLU99vLuHQTjnLv.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bluemist/FX3vOgMP-C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iNg1no3aWSriF8RceS89tRBQdkecpWaQStNNhc2krnYzBE9qZ8uk69sX5TDMFLU99vLuHQTjnLv.png) Credit: @divine-sound

Some major misconceptions are still lurking in community about GEMS and I would like to address them:

Do current supporters of GEMS only curate within community only?

The short is NO. I have witnessed with start of 2020 all the major curation initiatives were announcing to form their own community. With the announcment of GEMS community, we explicitly mentioned that our curation support will not remain restricted to one community only and infact we were the first one to support mutiple communities from the very start.

The major supporters of GEMS @appreciator, @rocky1 and @upmewhale regularly curate in other communities and at times we are supporting more outside the community.

I have been personally more focused on newcomers and there are only few initiatives who focus on new or undervalued authors leading to more user retention. I do regularly check recommendations by @theterminal and onboarded more than 15 users in collobaration with @rutablockchain.

Do you automatically get upvoted if you post in GEMS?

Definitely not, we manually curate all the posts and every post is upvoted after 5 minutes and sometimes after few hours. Its funny to see that some people still accuse us of curation snipping but irony is, I see them using delegated stake as trail vote to increase curation rewards on personal account. They just curation-snipe popular authors at 3 miutes and still call it curation.

There is no curation snipping happening at all even if we upvote outside the community(you can verify the stats for yourself on Beeme).

Are bid-bots still active on Hive?

There are no bid-bots on Hive. I don't know about others but I do know that @appreciator, @rocky1 and @upmewhale are not acting as bid-bots on Hive.

That's right, you can't put blame on bid-bots anymore but we should work together to build towards Hive blockchain.

Does every post get the support in GEMS?

No, some people are under false impression that if you post in GEMS then this is it. We manually curate each and every post, spam posts do not get any attention. There are few basic rules and if you follow them then there is a high chance that you might get supported but there is no 100% assurance for it.

Engagement Support

There is not much of traffic on Hive yet but this is just a start. Comments rewards significantly dropped after HF22. We will encourage users to engage more with others, so there is chance for your comment to get some support.

Its been one hell of a ride so far and I am sure you might be enjoying recent spike in price due to listing on Houbi and MXC. I want to congratulate you all on this wonderful development and we still have long way to go.

That is it for now, hoping to see you around more on Hive and I hope I have cleared up all of your major misconceptions.

New Chain - New Logo - New Beginnings

gems-community — Sat, 21 Mar 2020 08:58:54 GMT

First of all congratulations on successful launch of Hive. It has only been possible by group effort of true decentralized community. We should let go of past grudges and move forward in building the community together.

Just for brief intro, GEMS is a curation support community formed by @appreciator, @rocky1 and @upmewhale. Many people were keen to know will GEMS community will be active on Hive or not? As everyone knows by now that community is not one specific place and we'll go and support wherever the community is. This will be a gradual change and users will slowly start to shift towards best community.

The main objective of GEMS will remain the same, to focus more on user retention by providing support to undervalued deserving content. This support will not be limited to GEMS community only. We have already been supporting other cool initiatives and will continue to do that.

We would love to speedup on-boarding process and you can contact us anytime in this regard. Do subscribe to this community to see GEMS of the HIVE community and future updates:
