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 1/3/2025 I share this capture.

I went to sleep under the usual late hour last night, this is happening because of all these early morning work shifts recently, and so I have adapted to this routine. However I went to sleep later than satisfactory because I had been sleeping most of the day from being unwell. Falling asleep was a bit of problem because of the cold. Still I was tired from the early morning shifts and feeling unwell again so I fell asleep. The weather this morning was dark, the sky is cloudy, it was very foggy a miserable looking day, however yesterday this changed and the sun was out, it was mild this morning and eventfully turn cold. The heating as been on more lately, meaning I'm just seeing the money burning itself away. I woke-up only to my scheduled alarm, this happened last time I was off from work, this time there was no problem with getting too hot during the night but the cold at the beginning was uncomfortable. Our "cat" alarm clock stayed indoors for the night which I was surprised about considering it was milder. He as started to get noisy again the past few weeks which is annoying but thankfully he didn't protest last night. This morning it was difficult to get out of bed, but only because I wanted to get more rest after missing out during the week. With a late start I was glad I didn't have work to be in for today, but 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 I'm simply still not well, but this is a shame because I initially thought it was pancake day and so wanted to go out and get them but that is not until Tuesday which still makes it difficult to go and celebrate. Plus I have a lot of chores to get on with and I mostly wanted the rest. I wanted to continue with the kitchen, fighting some of the mold that now tries to settle on the walls. I also wanted to re-visit cleaning the bathroom for when the repair man arrives Tuesday. But honestly I just couldn't do it, didn't feel well enough. Where I could I done some prep for meeting with friends online later, I wanted to get there earlier but again after doing the prep work I just wasn't feeling it. I still went online and we made some progress but not much. 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 try and keep the continued flu that is trying to take over at bay. After I went for dinner 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 the wrong display numbers. 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, got changed and then 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 shared most of my finds around this elevation and got particularly stuck on the name of all the purple flowers that I shared on previous posts.

Thankfully in this capture we are not focusing on any particular flower, instead this photo captures a lot of grass and various weeds that remain growing close to the ground.

But I believe there are still likely 2 or 3 of what we could still consider actual flowers rather than what gardeners would consider weeds, however I'm still sure planters could debate further on that.
But somewhere up here my friend rests in wait for me to arrive, this will be where the ground contains more and thicker grass growing rather than the weeds and so I would say we are getting close.

In the distance we can see the top of only the taller buildings, a long with the highest reaching tress, however with this shot being captured in black and white I admit it's more difficult to see those details. But that's fine because the point here was to capture more of the details form the greenery directly in-front of us rather than the background.

Some people have told me they can see street lamps in this photo, but from my understanding this is not true. What they are seeing instead is the end of a grain like flowers which are situated just slightly further down. On a slightly more zoomed capture with a wider shoot I think it makes it a little easier to see we are most likely not looking at street lamps.

Unfortunately since here we are not focussing on any particular flower there will be no upvote for guessing any names.
