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 25/1/2025 I share this capture.

I went to sleep under the usual late hour last night, this happened because of recently having the early morning work shifts and so I'm trying to adapt to this routine. However I still went to sleep later than satisfactory because I needed to place a online order to pick up tomorrow. Falling asleep was not a problem, I was so tired from the shift I had in the morning and from staying up longer. The weather this morning was relatively bright, the sky was mostly clear, the sun was pushing to be seen, it was cold straight from getting out of bed. The heating as been on more lately and so meaning I'm just seeing the money burning itself away. I woke-up over 1 hour to my scheduled alarm, like yesterday not sure why it happened. Our cat alarm clock arrived just before I went to sleep and thankfully remained quiet all night, and so giving me the chance to sleep. Before the early morning shifts started I have been resting a lot past the alarm lately, not only because of the cold but I want to make sure I get the rest needed, which I believe as been helping me. This morning it was difficult to get out of bed, but only because I wanted to get started earlier so I could go pick up my order and have the rest of the day to do other things. With a late start I was glad I didn't have work to be in for today, more so I could rest, which means that this was a good opportunity to get on with some chores and other things. There was no plans to meet with friends because they are not feeling well and I had that order to pick-up. Also I think it will be best to meet friends on the day before I'm off work rather than on my actual day off, only because to arrive home late that night only to suffer the following day due to little sleep is a no thank you! Still I need to continue tweaking my schedule because I'm not getting the correct amount of sleep I need, but I think that might just be down to getting out of the meetings online with friends late. So this morning I quickly got ready to go out and pick-up the order, I skipped breakfast as I usually do with the morning shifts. It was to no surprise that the coach for where I wanted to go was late, being in the cold was not fun but was surprised by how quiet it was for a Saturday, I'm beginning to notice weekends are not what they used to be which is fine by me. Finally I got the coach I needed to visit the retail park and while there I had heard of some new places opening. I went to check them out briefly before going to collect my order. It didn't take me long to spot a suspicious looking young guy just outside a supermarket, he looked like he was about to rob someone and unfortunately I was already walking towards him. Walking closer towards him because if you stopped around here for every time someone looked suspicious you'd never get anywhere in life. Well the guy decided to suddenly walk into the shop but I already knew something was not right, I heard some rustling and he suddenly came out of the shop holding 4 bags of "washing powder" that he clearly didn't pay for. He go on he's "get-away bike" and pedalled a few meters away and stopped. He kept looking at me and I was also confused to why he stopped, what this idiot was doing was purposely waiting for security to come out and chase him down the road while shouting abuse at them. He was a cocky little bastard who was clearly drugged up and enjoying both the adrenaline of both the drugs and the thrills of stealing. Something tells me however he is a regular thief to the store and the guy was not exactly a professional thief and so I'm honestly baffled by how this low life had not been caught yet but that just shows how useless our police are. Even if he did get caught it wouldn't surprise me if the police would simply let him go with nothing but a warning. I felt uncomfortable for the rest of the morning as the thief went down the same direction I was picking my order up from. If he recognized me on my way back I feel it's likely he would try and snatch anything I'm carrying, that was likely he's initial plan when he was eyeing me up. What I hate is how everybody seems so ok with this and used to seeing it, for example when the thief robbed the place there was 2 families in the car park and a older couple walking into the shop but none of these people took any real notice of what had just happened. There is a huge lack of community for what is right anymore, for example on the way back when the coach made a stop to pick up passengers. There were 2 guys in a queue which made me think right away one of them is the type to cause trouble, and yep I was right there was shouting going on because one of them decided he didn't want to pay the fair and honestly by this point I just wanted to get home, it's like you can't go anywhere around here without incidents. But why was this man allowed to remain on for a free trip while everybody else had made payments, why are we not seeing every single paying customer and staff member get off their seats and throw this man off the coach? All this social technology yet we are a completely broken community without care for each other or what is right. Well finally arriving home I ate a late breakfast and got on with chores almost falling asleep in between which confused me due to getting more sleep. I didn't mean with friends online but continued to clear space and organise for the next one. I want to try and get one of those small work-outs done but had no chance of that if I wanted to get the rest needed to keep the continued flu trying to take over at bay. After I went for dinner, I didn't checked-in with my father it was already too late, and lastly I started to prepare to settle in for the night. The TRX wallets on Steemit.com have been removed by the Steemit Developers a long with any funds. This was part of the condenser project to fix all the wrong display numbers from rewards. But I think removing the TRX wallet is downscaling the usefulness of the SteemitWallet and the Steem token as a whole. You can recover any funds by creating a new tron account with TronLink and then adding the Steem generated TRX account to that newly created account. Regardless I still think we should of kept the TRX wallet functional. If you agree on keeping the TRXwallet you can write to them here asking for it's return TRXWallet. Hope you have a good day or night and I will see you on the next Steemit post.

Today's Picture

This was captured on a summers day after I just finished work, I had already been home and got changed then I left again to meet with a friend at my closest green spot. There are some small hills in this area and this particular photo was captured around the top.
Up here there are various bushes and flowers, I have already been sharing a few of my finds on this elevation and now I'm mostly stuck on the names of all the purple flowers that I have shared on previous posts.

Thankfully in this capture that I share today it photograph's a flower that even those who don't known anything about flowers will still likely recognize. I'm of course talking about the famous "Daisy" flower.

There's lot of them up here I'm sure you can tell by the image I had previously only shown the initial daisy area, but I found a picture that I wanted to show you with many more daises.

This might be my favourite photo of them because there are so many and just the peaceful serenity of this afternoons summers day.

They are perhaps a little on the simple side compared to some others flowers we have seen and shared here before, but maybe that's why so many of us like the daisy flower for it's simplistic beauty.

Daises are said to thrive in various environments, from wet to dry climates, apparently they can adapt to both sunny or shady spots for their on-going survival. We know already that Daisies can grow on high hills but they can also do well on much bigger ones like in mountains. But typically I myself have found them in the grasslands.

This will likely conclude the images of daisies for now I have shared both from the smaller patch and now the large patch.

Unfortunately since we already know this is the Daisy there will be no upvote for guessing it's name, however the purple flowers will still remain a mystery.
But with this comes a opportunity for you, if you know anything about flowers, and if you recognise the flower at the bottom and know it's name let me know in the comments section and possibly win 🏆 a upvote from me.
