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 4/11/2024 I share this capture.

I went to sleep under the usual late hour, this happened because I was still tired from seeing friends the previous night, or it could be I have improved my sleeping pattern. I had a good time but was not surprised that the topic of what had happened at the weekend arose and I was sad but not shocked to hear that it had caused them some mental affects. However I sadly think it's a good lesson to have and a wake-up call to the dangers out there. See those who live in paradise continue to until something knocks them out to the reality around them. Falling asleep unlike the previous nights was not a problem, there was no scenes of a lone police officer outside tackling with a man and then arresting him just outside my house at night, which is a little unsettling. However I did receive a message from a friend last night who mentioned a large group of yobs outside their home playing with fireworks. This is the same friend that was with me during the weekend incident and I think they were generally feeling a little scared. I would normally not reply to such a message until later but I felt the need to as it seems they were a little nervous. The weather this morning like yesterday as expected was dark, cloudy and miserable looking. There as been no rain which as honestly really surprised me, but I'm sure all that is coming. I woke-up again nearly 2 hours before my scheduled alarm, I hope to stop waking up 1 or even 2 hours prior to my alarm which as been happening since my father was here visiting, but I still got satisfactory sleep. I have been resting for way past the alarm lately, this is likely because of the cold but this morning was on purpose to catch up on the much needed rest. With a late start I was sure glad I didn't have work to be in for today which means also this was a good opportunity to get some chores and things done. As you know I have been wanting to try for some more Steem lately, but unfortunately I had been dealing with mostly the same problems from before. But did get a response from the sellers who apparently for the moment are dealing with some liquation issues. This was their reason for their terrible service lately, they told me it was estimated that in about 1 week they should be able to make the trade. I waited another week, made a trade, but I was lucky due to only a word of honour and past trading to secure the deal. They are still having the same issues so I will try again this week like they recommended which would make today ideal for giving it another go. I wanted to go for one of those quick workouts, but the incident and being generally tired made it difficult. But finally after 9 days once I got started it was much more enjoyable, it was just passing past that initial body rejection. After I went online with friends, but for whatever their reasons they got on there much too late for any real progress and mostly talked nonsense with sort attention spams. Went for dinner, checked in with my father who phoned, and lastly I started to prepare to settle in for the night. I'm disappointed that without warning our TRX wallets on Steemit.com had just disappeared a long with all the funds. The TRX distribution code has been removed from the wallet by the Steemit developers. This was part of the condenser project to fix all the wrong display numbers from the rewards "which I'm glad was fixed" but I think removing the TRX wallet from the SteemitWallet is downscaling the usefulness of the SteemitWallet as a whole. The only way to recover the funds is to make a new tron account with TronLink and then adding the Steem generated TRX account to that newly created account. This as already been confirmed to work tested it myself and so have other steemians but regardless I still think we should keep the TRX wallet functional. If you agree write to them here asking for the return of the TRX Wallet on Steemit 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, a 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, also 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 was near the top somewhere, it's here where these flowers were growing and from the looks of things they are growing by a lot getting so tall. As you can see by the photo they continue to get taller further down to a point they look like they are climbing a wall due to the hill elevation. I'm not sure if these particular flowers are just shaped like this or if they are still little baby buds that open up at some point. If that's the case I believe I don't have any photo of them open, all the ones I have seen all look the same. Normally you would be able to at least find some at the different stage, either growing, closed or opening. But these were the only ones I saw all at the same stage even further down the taller ones all still looked the same. This time we have gone for a good close look at what these little buds actually look like, however I have gone with the black and white option which I'm really pleased with the results. Going for a close-up with the black and white I think also exposes the odd shaped long like leaf's that seem to accompany this flower.

Perhaps these flowers only open at night to let their scent fill the air, I doubt that it was still too cold for them as it was a warm day.

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