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 9/1/2025 I share this capture.

I went to sleep just under the usual late hour last night, this happened because of needing some much needed rest from work, the cold and the flu that continues to try and emerge. Falling asleep was not a problem, this was not surprising considering how tired I was from work and feeling unwell. The weather this morning was surprisingly bright, the sky was mostly clear, there was even sunshine, it was very cold this morning right from getting out of bed. The heating as been on more lately and so meaning I'm just seeing money burning itself away. I woke-up 3 hours to my scheduled alarm, I think this because of my sore throat. I tried going back to sleep with little luck and soon after our newest cat again was unsettled and being noisy. Thankfully he was calm for most of the night, also it's likely he usually does eventually settled down and I tried sleeping again. That was with little luck because I then started having messages on my phone from work. They wanted me to come in and to do a extra day of being in charge of the extra work and it's like no thanks. I don't want to be doing that anyway so they can get someone else, also I was feeling worse this morning so no I made it clear I was not going in. I have been resting a lot past the alarm lately, this is likely because of the cold a seasonal issue. This morning was not 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. Later in the day I had not heard anything from friends who I was going to meet this afternoon, so I decided to text them to see if we was still meeting. While I waited I suddenly felt tired and cold so decided to go bed even if I knew I might end up falling asleep. Well that's exactly what happened and when I woke-up I thought I probably missed my friends. But looking at the time I was only asleep for 20 mins and received confirmation to meet. It was a struggle but I got up ate some food, got a bag ready, changed clothes and left the house. Like I already expected it was freezing outside making me think I must be mad and should of just stayed home resting. While we didn't do much today because it was so cold I still had a good time with my friends. On the way back it initially didn't seem that cold but about half way home I couldn't take much more of the cold. It was also round this time when I white van speeding with a ton of smoke whizzed by me. At first I thought it was probably just smoke from the engine r something but the lunatic drove past me again speeding and this time it looked like the whole van was on fire. I thought he stopped a bit further up the road but was surprised to see that was not the case so I thought he must of stopped at the petrol station but also no. In other words this guy continued driving on the main road with he's car on fire, the world is insane. Eventually relieved but freezing I finally got home, 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, because once again it's been kicked back after feeling unwell again. After I went for dinner, I didn't checked-in with my father it was too late, and lastly I started to prepare to settle in for the night. Steem is going up, thankfully it moved away from the dreaded "middle" value and going in the right direction. 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 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 been sharing a few of my finds on this elevation and I'm particularly stuck on the name of all the purple flowers that I have 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.

I believe there is still likely 2 or 3 of what we could still consider as flowers. Well somewhere up here my friend rests in wait for me to arrive, this will be where the ground as more grass growing than weeds.

In the distance we can see the top of only the taller buildings, a long with the highest reaching tress, which in black and white I find more difficult to see. But like this we can likely see the main details of the greenery 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 flower situated just slightly further down. This is a slightly zoomed capture compared to the previous photo with a wider shoot which I think makes it a little easier to see we are most likely not looking at street lamps.

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