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 29/12/2024 I share this capture.

I went to sleep just past the usual late hour last night, this happened because of organising a few things for meeting next online with friends. We now get our unexpected cat guest in from the outside, because from what is understood he does not have a home and as been spending most of his time down the road with another cat rescuer. She does not let him inside the home and I'm wondering if this cat does not understand the concept of having a loving home in which he can stay in and perhaps this is why he still refuses to stay with us. Anyway falling asleep was not a problem, this was not surprising considering how the headahe I had was making me fell unwell and very tired. The weather this morning was dark, mostly cloudy, miserable looking, it was a cold morning right from the start. The heating as been on more lately and so meaning I'm just seeing money burning itself away. I woke-up twice firstly due to our cat guest making noise demanding to go outside. After I went back to sleep and woke-up only to my scheduled alarm. I have been resting a lot past the alarm lately, this is likely because of the cold a seasonal issue. This morning was a struggle to get out of bed, sure I rested a little longer but soon after I got on with the day. With a late start I was glad I didn't have work to be in for today which means that this was a good opportunity to get on with some chores and other things. Well that's why I forced myself more this morning to get started because I still wanted to try and see some friends today before the year is done. I sent a message in the morning to let them know I was feeling better to meet with them later today. Once my free time was finished I ate some food, got my bag ready, changed clothing and left the house. On the way to meet with friends like I expected because of how the weather was yesterday it was no surprise that it was freezing out. 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, however I'm feeling better now so hopefully I can do one soon. After I went for dinner, I check-in with my father, and lastly I started to prepare to settle in for the night. Steem while not in the direction we all wanted I'm glad it moved away from the dreaded "middle" value. 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

As for the picture today I share some flower photography, 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 topic of flower imagery.

This was captured on a day after I had just finished work, I had already been home got changed and left again to meet with a friend at my closest green spot. There are some small hills in the area and this particular photo was captured near the top, there are some large bushes surrounding parts of the hills. It's near these bushes where I I spotted these flowers, they were close to some grass.

Even with all the greenery in the area this beautiful flower caught my attention, might be a little more difficult to see why in this black and white picture why it did.

Ignoring what I call the cone the flower itself caught my attention because of it's purple like colour reaching out between the white, it's almost like it's been placed there and delicately painted to attract attention.
I will try to showcase this again on another post with perhaps a close-up if I have anymore photos of it.

It's more difficult to tell here but on a close-up it will be better but looking just below it we can also notice that this is a hairy flower. Not only is the stem looking hairy but so are it's leaves, perhaps this is to protect it from certain insects and predators, it might also help us to try and identify it.

There was a moment when I thought these may have been the purple flowers from a previous post where I mentioned I couldn't find any open ones, but I don't believe these are in anyway related.

What I also like about this picture is how this beautiful painted like flower sits among what looks like a jungle mess. I also noticed the nearby leaf's it seems the local snails aren't too keen on them with only very small bites.

Well I think it's obvious I don't know what these are called. But with this comes a opportunity for you, if you know anything about flowers, if you recognise it and know this flowers name, let me know in the comments section below and possibly win 🏆 a upvote from me.
