<br>

Welcome to the **203rd** Daily Edition of the **Daily Qurator**. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!
 
The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.03 - $4.60!
 
**Note:** some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

[My Bucket List- Challenge Accepted](https://steemit.com/life/@indigoocean/my-bucket-list-challenge-accepted)
>In the spirit of "name it to claim it" I am accepting the challenge from @nomadicsoul to write my bucket list... In the spirit of "I want more than things and experiences," my bucket list may be a bit nontraditional... So here goes with the list of things I request from the Universe/God/Source/whatchamacallit before I pass on from this physical form

@indigoocean has traveled to every continent except for Antarctica, and see where she would love to settle in her later years and who she is taking with her. Have a read of her Bucket List and maybe you can write your own.

[Pencil Sletch Of A Female Portrait- Showing Process Step By Step](https://steemit.com/art/@masummim50/pencil-sketch-of-a-female-portrait-portrait-character-drawing-showing-the-process-step-by-step)
>After a few days, finally i got back to drawing with pencil on paper.
painting on a pc is obviously fun but i am still not very used to that as i am so much comfortable holding a real pencil in my hand. and i can draw any kind of stroke without making a mistake in it... but when i am using the pen of the graphic tablet the pen doesn't seem to really understand me.... i want to draw a kind of stroke but the pen does something that is quite different 

@masummim50 uses an artist's touch to complete this sketch; the pencil strokes and their talent of shadowing really come through with this sketch. See the entire process of how they created this beautiful drawing.

>Today was a busy day for me, with an appointment and then some running of errands. When I finally got back to the house, I went out to the greenhouse to check on the couple of plants that are starting to sprout, and to see how warm it was in the greenhouse 

With spring literally here, see all of the greenhouse accomplishments @amberyooper has completed to get ready for the gardening and planting season. So much work but now she's ready!

## <center>Steemit Node Problems</center>

<br>


We saw some massive delays in the steemit nodes. Our upvotes are going out slow and the bot gets pretty congested. We are working on it and even set up 2 extra bots as backups to help out with the delays. All upvotes will be going out but might be a bit delayed. 

Please be patient as we cannot control the steemit nodes, we are only as fast as they are. Guess steemit is busy with some updates and we have to hang tight till they are done. 

ELITE MEMBERS: We set up a bot specifically for all of you. There should be minimal delays in your upvotes.

## <center>Steemauto Curation Trail</center>

<br>

<center>https://steemitstageimages.com/DQmRviZWBhhxeNa6TSQKpSitHj3XHmGC24WUxn9uUVTWCG6/steemauto.png</center>

<center>RIP Streemian and hello Steemauto! The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. 

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using **SCALED** instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprize for a lucky trailer. =P </center>
