Photography or a single image I feel often captures those treasured moments in ones life, there is nothing quite like looking back and reflecting good or bad. But I also find that just like the act of writing our collective pictures can also be a art-form. The beauty and meaning of a photo can be expressed and shared in many ways including not even using a single word but instead just seeing what it makes you feel.
While I do enjoy photography I used to share those "everyday" type images that captures just those typical day to day activities, the feedback was mostly positive and so I continued sharing these "Ulog type" photos on Steemit.
Almost every picture as a story to tell right? Or at least that is what I was often been told by some of my followers when I first started sharing photos on here, and I would have to agree with them.
Today 28/5/2024 I share this capture.

Last night I went to sleep just past the usual late hour, this was disappointing mostly due to updating things but it was still a earlier night compared to previous ones. As for falling asleep this took me longer than usual again, but I did fall asleep faster compared to the previous nights where I was struggling to sleep. I think this was down to the cold, the temperature had dropped last night, however I'm not sure if just the cold is to blame. When I did fall asleep I woke-up just under 1 hour before my scheduled alarm while this as been happening lately this time I was able to fall straight back to sleep easily. I expected this morning for it to be troublesome to get out of bed, but it wasn't that much of a problem. I woke-up to the alarm which was set for later than usual, I rested past it but not for much longer. This was not a problem for the day as I didn't have work to be in for but I did have plans to meet with friends later and so wanted to get some chores done before doing so. As for the weather this morning compared to yesterday where it started to turn darker only later this morning it instead started with a miserable looking sky full of clouds. This doesn't bother me too much but what I don't like is that it was cold enough this morning where I needed to put on a extra layer. According to our weather people we should now have three straight months of heat waves. I have little confidence in that statement as the weather is very dynamic around here. And with that they have of course changed their story now saying those heatwaves will only start next month. With such a late start to the day I just about managed to get done some of the basic things I needed done. I didn't get half the things I wanted done before I had no more time and had to start leaving. I kind of forgot that my friends were not working today and so we was meeting a little earlier, but it was also to avoid the weather getting any worse. Yes when I got out I expected to get caught in lots of rain but luckily this was not the case however the wind had picked-up by a lot and while it looked like a winters day it wasn't exactly cold. Once with friends I helped them set-up their new speaker system as apparently the old system would sometimes stop working or sound would get muffled. We also had some good chats catching-up some of my favourite conversations were about family, pets, old school friends and the event which from what they told me it didn't seem like I missed out on too much this time as it sounds like there was some major scale backs this time round. Still I remained of course disappointed that I was not able to attend this time. Before I left my friends they didn't have enough snacks indoors so I offered to help them shop as it's mostly in the same direction to home. The weather seemed like it was going to be terrible making me almost regret my offer but in the end it was fine, I also told them to get tonight's dinner sorted while we was out which they did. Just as I left my friends it started to rain, luckily it wasn't by much and it soon stopped giving me infact a very pleasant time getting home. On Steemit.com I'm very glad to still see it working as it should, work on updating the look of the Steemit.com interface continues on for something more "modern" I was very worried about this but the changes aren't anything drastic and Alpha testing can now be tried. Hope you have a good day or night and I will see you on the next Steemit post.
Today's Picture
As for the picture today I share some flower photography, a quick disclaimer I understand that this type of photography on Steemit has a bit of a bad reputation. This is because it was often used by spammers to make like 8 posts each day.
Hopefully as you can see from my blog I'm nowhere near making 8 or more posts per day on the subject of flowers.
I believe this was captured on the way to work near the super market as the weather was getting better, the main focus here is of course the 5 or 6 Red Ballerina Heesterrozen which have likely seen better days. While it's called the Red Ballerina Heesterrozen I honestly feel it's more pink in colour, of course since it's a black and white image I won't go on about those details on this particular post.
Regardless I love the colour contrast of these flowers, it makes them look beautiful an it's why I decided going for a black and white might just be a good idea. I feel if you look at the image at a glance it may look like a painters nightmare bu give you mind some time and I find it a beutiful image. Most of this picture to me looks like one of those beautiful flower displays, however in this case it's of course all natural which is what flower decorators often go for in some of their designs. We also have a lot of the unknown's here like the leaves, and there are those plants here again with those grey in colour like buds. There is also a spiky stem which I assume as to be from a rose somewhere, the stem hides another flower behind it but I'm not sure if it's another Ballerina Heesterrozen, but I have doubt it's a rose, however it could be a Knock-out rose as they seem to be in the area. Unfortunately since we already know this is the Red Ballerina Heesterrozen there will be no upvote for guessing it's name, however there is also the plant with the grey like buds which we have now encountered here a few times does anybody know what they are? If you recognise the flower and know it's name let me know in the comments section below and possibly win 🏆 a upvote from me.
