Weekly Contest - Best Diary Game | date: 02-03-2025 | Addiction to photography at the arrival of Cottontrees.

Assalamu Alaikum to all Steemian friends. Hope you all are well. Today I came to participate in this wonderful diary game contest organized by this community. So now I will share my daily diary blog with you. In the beginning I woke up last night and started fasting by eating Sehri because the month of Ramadan is going on. After that, I went to the mosque and prayed, then when the daylight came, I walked outside to refresh my mind. Suddenly a piece of red fire appeared. A single flower lay on the dusty road as if it was waiting for someone. I picked it up and it felt as if it moved a little in the warmth of the hand. The soft petals of the flower trembled in the gentle breeze. I wanted to capture this fleeting beauty of nature on camera.

When I looked with my hand, I suddenly saw a huge Simul tree above my head. The branches of the tree are full of bright red flowers like flames burning under the open sky. The flowers swaying in the wind seem to have become more vibrant in the sunlight. I felt like I was standing in the middle of a magical scene with the blue sky, the red clouds and me under it. Impressed, I took out the camera. Looking up from the bottom, I captured the tree in the frame as if to keep this moment forever. It seems that we are blind in the midst of so much beauty of nature, right?

A closer look at the tree revealed the promise of a new life. One day these will also be fully developed and may fall in someone's hands. Fascinated, I took out my camera and took pictures not only of blooming flowers but also of these little calli. I thought that life is like today that it will be fulfilled in a short time. But it looked a little strange.

The light smell of shimul flowers in the air and the warmth of the soft sun made me feel better. I slowly walked around and saw some more trees along the road. It's been a great time but now it's bath time. It seems to be fresh. So I returned home and took a bath under cold water. The body was instantly filled with tranquility. Then I changed my clothes and left for the mosque. The surrounding environment seemed to be more beautiful then, the air was cold, the late afternoon soft light in the sky. Reaching the mosque, I heard the melodious sound of Azan and felt like I found a wonderful match of peace of mind with this beauty of nature.

Then after namaz I came home and spent some time on Steemit platform and slept for some time. Then the afternoon sun has softened a little and I am walking along the road. The noise of people around and the shouting of hawkers on the roadside. Suddenly a hawker's small shop caught his eye. There are various dishes arranged on the table. Steel glasses, plates, bowls are all sparkling in the afternoon light. But my eyes caught a steel mug. A simple mug but somehow got a pull. When I was a child, I used to drink water from such a mug at my grandfather's house. I approached and asked the price. The hawker said with a smile, "Good thing, brother, it will last for a long time." I thought for a while and then bought the mug.

After that, I performed ablution and prayed. My mind felt quite light. After the prayer, I sat in front of a small shop next to the mosque. I took out my new Zaytun tree miswak from my pocket. The new miswak has a distinct beauty, the fragrance spreads strongly but gradually softens. But for use, the upper part must be cut off properly. So, sitting on the bench of the shop, I slowly cut off Miswak's head with a knife. While cutting, the light smell of its wood came to the nose as if reconnecting with nature once again. I have shown the steps of cutting it in the picture.

I cut the upper part and soaked it in water to soften it. Some time passed like this. Then it was time for iftar so I went home. Now I will start miswalking. After doing everything properly, I rubbed it on my teeth once. It seemed perfect. Today's small events combined to bring a strange sense of calm.

A light smell of new zaytun wood came to the nose and a fresh feeling spread to the mouth. At that time, the eyes went to the western sky. The sun is slowly descending over the horizon spreading a reddish orange glow around. I think this scene is perfect for capturing the camera. I raised the miswak in my hand towards the sun just like a unique combination of light and nature. I took out the camera and captured that moment with the golden sky on one side and the shadow of Miswak in front.

Back home, everyone is busy preparing for Iftar. Dates, sherbet, fruits, onions, chickpeas are all beautifully arranged on the table. I washed my hands and face and joined everyone. Today the small moments of the whole day became more joyful sitting with the family to break the fast. After Iftar, I prayed Maghrib. After the prayer, the mind felt very light as if all the fatigue of the whole day was gone. Then after all the work of the night, I prayed tarabi and then came back home. The night was getting late but how time flies when you enter the world of Steemit. I felt like I not only spent today but also enjoyed, felt and was waiting to share that story with everyone through Steemit.

So I am Inviting my lovely Steemian friends @stef1, @ulfatulrahmah, @kouba01, @selina1 to Participate in this Competition.
