Greetings Hivers, @justinparke here with another new ASEAN Hive Community Challenge for you all, 🦧 Animal Photography Challenge 📸, so get your cameras and get snapping.

🦧 Animal Photography Challenge 📸

👨‍💻 Week #60 👩‍💻

^{May 29th ➡️ June 5th, 2023}

     Whether you've got pets, farm animals, or have to venture into the forest or swamp, there are animals to be found everywhere if you look hard enough. This week's challenge is simple enough, it's animal photography, but I don't expect any of you to find a cheetah like in the GIF below. Of course there is still the usual minimum 250+ post body word count as the ASEAN Hive Community rules state.

     Just because this challenge is all about photography doesn't mean I'm not looking for a good read. The posts I like most are always a nice blend of images and engaging text. House pets, yard snakes, and even yetis are fair game for this challenge, but not homo sapiens. Have fun and be adventurous with this challenge my fellow ASEAN Hivers.

Week #59 ASEAN Hive Challenge Winners
😄 What Makes You Laugh? 😂

     I'm a little late with the new challenge and winners' announcements for last week's challenge, but it was Memorial Day weekend here in the USA, so I was quite busy with friends and family. There were so many outstanding entries for this challenge that it was quite difficult to narrow things down to only three winners. I had quite a few laughs while reading all of the entries, so thank you all for making me laugh and here are the winners.......

1st Prize 🏆 10% Beneficiary & 125 Ecency Points

LAUGH OUT LOUD: A Million Reasons to Laugh
by: @ruffatotmeee

I may always have a serious face in front of everybody, but I easily burst into laughter if I find something hilarious. You can't even see me smiling around, but I actually love to smile, although I only do it indoors and in front of my family's faces. I love to laugh. Yes, I laugh when I find a scene funny, a situation funny, or even a meme, a picture, or even those arts in Manhwa or Manga funny. I don't hold my laughter, I will laugh because it's funny and it makes me feel happy inside.

2nd Prize 🥈 6% Beneficiary & 75 Ecency Points

ASEAN Hive Community Challenge #59: What Makes You Laugh?
by: @tegoshei

In my opinion, it's easier to make someone cry than to make them laugh genuinely. So, I respect comedians who are really good at it. It's more than a talent, I suppose. However, more than comedians, what makes me laugh are the simple and silly things I do with my family and friends. I am usually just at home and I don't meet my friends or other relatives often, but every time we meet, it's total chaos.

3rd Prize 🥉 4% Beneficiary & 50 Ecency Points

Hearty Laughs! - ASEAN Hive Challenge "What Makes You Laugh?"
by: @anarkia

SO WHAT ??? Dude, when you laugh, every positive fiber in your being just shoots up to the sky! You feel like your in cloud nine or something and you even wished you don't want to go back to your miserable sad life (LOL) and just enjoy that moment. I super love to laugh. I am quite the joker myself. Well... on the cornier side though. But people still laugh at my corny ass jokes! HAHA. What makes laughing so special to me is that, it pushes stress and negativity away from my mind.
