A Tomato Mystery: My Heirloom Journey with Black Krim (Or Is It?) by @theworldaroundme

I remember when I was a child that my mom bought black tomatoes, but I haven't seen them for a while... Your tomato looks healthy, and even by looking at photos, I could bet they are tasty! 😃
I wonder why they are not selling them anymore in my area?

Life's Game of Greed by @josediccus

I never heard the 3 robbers story, but it's a good one! Thanks for sharing...
And regarding the rest, it is all about the trust, and we come back to crypto, one of the crucial things why I got attracted to it is exactly that! It removes the middle man, and the potential trust issues...
Greed and temptation can come out of nowhere when we least expect them!

You Can't Avoid Red, Even if You've Been Trying by @riverflows

It's true, red is everywhere, even in small decorations or the tiniest details, or mixed with other colours, but it's always there and we can't avoid it. That blanket is beautiful and I love the name you gave it. I should name my blankets too. The fruit bowl combined with the yellow of the lemons must look great.
The rug is and isn't red, it's multicoloured!!! How beautiful the hen's crest is, it's a very artistic photo, and even in the meditation and relaxation section of a book, red is present. They are excellent elements. Red is strength and energy, I think that's why it's always present and is the passion within us.

Mineko (Portrait of a Geisha)/Mineko (retrato de una Geisha) [ENG-ESP] by @maiasun84

It is very interesting how you have captured the experiences of women in that culture and era. With just a drawing and that expressive face, one can feel the emotion of Japanese women. You have done an excellent job. The sensuality that emanates from that downward gaze is very well achieved.
From the material you used with that texture and the drawing from the first strokes to the final result, it has been wonderful. That type of paper is ideal for this work. Congratulations, thank you for the quality!

Hive Open Days '26 - Taking a Far-Away Plunge...? by @honeydue

Face-to-face meetings are experiences that I can only recommend. The first time, you feel that sensation you describe, thinking that at any moment you'll have to run away. But then you discover that behind every avatar and username there is a person just like you, with virtues and flaws. It's wonderful to be able to talk while looking directly into each other's eyes; you connect in a way that no screen can reproduce. I'm really looking forward to meeting you in Alicante. If you ever need to escape to the beach, I'll come with you!

A vibrant hue for a vibrant life ! by @steemflow

You've made an impressive post about the colour red, impressive. Your niece's dress is unparalleled in its beauty. The sculpture of the dancing couple is amazing. I don't think I've ever had red plates, the one you show is very beautiful. I do have red clothes because I love them, they symbolise strength. I love that flute decoration for fairs or parties, and what can I say about the flowers, they fascinate me!
I also agree with the meaning of red. There is something called chromotherapy, using a colour according to what you need, and red is definitely a very powerful colour.
