Photography or a image I feel often captures those treasured moments in ones life but I also find that just like the act of writing our collective pictures can also be an art-form. The beauty and meaning of photograph can be expressed and shared in many ways including "by not using any words".

While I do like photography I used to share images when I could that I captured day to day events, the feedback was mostly positive and I continued sharing these "Ulog type" photos.

Almost every picture as a story to tell, or at least that is what I have often been told by some of my regular followers when I first started sharing photos on here.
To those who have often said and expressed that to me I would have to agree with them.

Today 18/4/2022 I share this capture.

It's April and people still talk about the Will Smith slap on Chris Rock yet the marching army at Ukraine continue firing their weapons at people since the previous month. What was the coming war is now very much happening in the streets of the Ukrainians yet this slap seems to have got a ton of attention.. much of a distraction perhaps.. Also the Bittrex wallet for Steem continues to be inactive, all this together is a nightmare.

I went to sleep earlier last night and woke up later than usual but this was on purpose as I'm taking some of my free time to rest a little longer.
Well....I tried at least because I can't believe that in the early morning hours of a bank holiday the idiot from across the road to me thought it would be a good idea to once again keep he's very loud car running for a good 10 minutes for no reason what so ever.
It shakes the house and I keep wondering when is someone going to lose their cool with this and go outside and knock the guy down as some of us are trying to sleep.

I was luckily able to go back to sleep after, which is not always possible but still shouldn't have to put up with the noise coming from that pile of junk at the stupid times he decides to leave home.

It was a little difficult to get out of bed, I blame the idiot from this morning but I was in no rush anyway the morning was bright with sunshine to which I have heard tomorrow we go back to the not so good weather.

I didn't have work today and I'm surprised how I'm actually getting Easter off, this is so weird as I don't normally get this much time off during this period, I'm definitely not complaining one bit.

It's just surprising that for once most people are going back to work and I'm still off, and since my friends are going back to work they asked if I could meet today which I agreed.
Even if being a little reluctant after the drama that was going around as this guy had he's girlfriend, she basically went on a trip with another guy to meet up with even more strangers, it's all kind of weird but I think perhaps they have sorted it out hopefully.

I needed to get a few things done at home before leaving which I got one mostly in the morning.

When I went to meet my friend the weather was still very decent, ok it was a little chilly but normally I'd have another 2 layers on so definitely much better.

But when returning home it did turn colder still not by much once I got moving at a pace I got used to the temperature and it was fine.
There was a few weirdos about as always but what really surprised me was the completely smashed up car on the side of the road.
I surprised me and I wondered what had happened because when I passed the area earlier it was definitely not there, strangely I couldn't see any broken pieces of the vehicle, it must of either happened on another road or they already done the clear up and left the actual car for pickup tomorrow.

Picture

Anyway as for the picture today I share one of my cat Daniel, which I began posting more of him lately.
Shame really as unfortunately poor Daniel is no longer with us, he died at home with us under the best care and love we could give him.
Daniel was completely different to he's brother Toffee, he as always been a gentle soul who didn't ask for much, he mostly just wanted to be excepted and safe.
Daniel was always very shy and took what he suffered from previous humans harshly as it took a very long time for him to settle with us, sad really as I always wanted him to feel more at ease here and to put that life behind him.
It's obviously not easy as even for humans as trauma sticks with us, sometimes forever.
Which actually by looking at some of the previous photos I posted I feel you wouldn't think he had a care in the world.
In this close side view shot the light made he's white fur a little too bright for this photo, also due to he's age we can see he was suffering from a little hair loss on the side of he's face. I have noticed this seems to be something more common of cat's with big faces as they age.
Still my hope was the he was well rested and most importantly happy as it's always how I wanted him to be, happy in he's last real home.
