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 26/1/2025 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. Falling asleep was not a problem, I was so tired from the shifts and going out to collect my order. The weather this morning was dark, the sky was mostly cloudy, it was cold straight from getting out of bed. 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 which is what I want. Our cat alarm clock did not arrive last night so it remained quiet all night giving me the chance to sleep. Before the early morning shifts started I have been resting a lot past the alarm, 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 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 they are not feeling well and I wanted to rest. 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, because to arrive home late 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 that's likely just down to not getting out of the meetings online with friends on time. Yesterday I went to check briefly some new stores before going to collect a order I requested. 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. 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 got 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 of the store to 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, 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. Regardless 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 to see if I had anything he could easily steal. 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 on the coach it made a stop to pick up passengers. There were 2 guys in the 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. 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 for what is right. I did meet with friends online this evening mostly because I needed them to do something for me in order for us to progress. This worked out well as the people I need came online and we got the tasks done. 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 did check-in with my father, 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.

This was captured on a summers day after I had just finished work, I already been home, got changed and 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 there are various bushes and flowers, which I have been capturing and sharing here on Steemit, I'm now stuck on the name of 2 purple flowers that I shared on previous posts and thanks to the help of some Steemians we nearly almost cracked it.

However this time I will share a bush or is it a fern.. I'm not too sure either? But I'm guessing this one is a fern, I had initially gone for the close-up as I have always liked this amazing web like detail on this type of fern.
This is the secondary fern I was talking about from the previous posts about ferns, I gave a glimpse of this fascinating growth combination.
It almost makes me think jokingly what a plant based human brain may look like with all it's neurons, perhaps this plant is secretly the big brain up here on the hill in charge of all the plants.

Well I think it's obvious that I don't know what these are called. Well that's a maybe.. because I actually think this might be the fern called Horsetail. However even if it is Horsetail I'm not sure which type of Horsetail it's suppose to be. Others have suggested it's Dill which was a great call and I can see why they would make that suggestion but I don't think it's that, however I learnt about a very easy Bulgarian cold soup in the process called Tarator. If you got some yogurt, cucumbers and the dill I mentioned then look it up for the full recipe. But with this comes a opportunity for you, if you know anything about plants, and if you recognise this plant and know it's name let me know in the comments section below and possibly win 🏆 a upvote from me.
