Photography or a image I feel often captures those treasured moments in ones life but I also find that just like the act of writing our collective pictures can also be an art-form. The beauty and meaning of photograph can be expressed and shared in many ways including "by not using any words".

While I do like photography I used to share images when I could that I captured day to day events, the feedback was mostly positive and I continued sharing these "Ulog type" photos.

Almost every picture as a story to tell, or at least that is what I have often been told by some of my regular followers when I first started sharing photos on here.
To those who have often said and expressed that to me I would have to agree with them.

Today 5/3/2022 I share this capture.

It's March and the marching army arrived at Ukraine, what was the coming war is now happening in the streets of the Ukrainians, also the Bittrex wallet for Steem continues to be inactive all this together is a nightmare.

I went to sleep only slightly earlier last night, this morning was less of a struggle to get up but I did get up later which was done intentionally.
Compared to the previous morning it was only slightly lighter to which I assumed it was going to be another mostly dark day which is disappointing as the previous week it was mostly sunny, still cold but at least it didn't look as miserable.

And speaking of cold compared to yesterday it's colder this morning which doesn't paint a great picture for later as I have plans to go out. And yes after meeting my friend while there wasn't a storm going on I honestly didn't expect to feel so freaking cold I was shaking.

I had discussed with a friend about going to a global food buffet, we talked about it like a week ago but actually we initially started talking about it back in January so it was long overdue.

As I looked up information on it many said the place had gone downhill plus that every time you visit u'd be taking a gamble with your money. This was explained as much of the food becomes quickly unavailable due to limited supplies because of the covid excuse.
This is tied with why it's gone downhill because it's been reported that due to limited supplies that staff have been seen buying supplies from cheap "super markets" to re-supply their stock.
Now to be clear I don't have initially issues with such things but the problem is going to such a place it's actually rather expensive. It's expensive because of the quality but if your being cheated on when it comes to the quality then they should be charging cheaper prices not the full cost and so with that I do have a problem with it.

But honestly me and my friend had a good time we missed the crowds coming in which honestly makes for a much better experience I don't know why people act like vultures in such places, my only real complaint with that place is apart from some adults acting like vultures is the kids running around like nutters, it's a restaurant not a play area and there are people everywhere with plates full of hot food and honestly many of these kids just bump into you or run past your table nearly knocking things off.

on my return home I wanted to talk to a friend but it was already rather late and it was still very cold so I was glad to get in.

Picture

Anyway as for the picture today I share one from the "street" this capture was actually taken in the late afternoon, it wouldn't be much longer until it would start getting dark.
It was very cold out on this day, there was also a tiny touch of mist wanting to arise but unfortunately I believe this image doesn't capture that mist which is a shame in my opinion.
But as I walked down these very quiet back streets something odd caught my eye.

At first it looked like someone had placed something hanging to look scary but with a closer zoom of the camera we could see better what is was.
While this is not threatening it was still slightly creepy to see this on the empty quiet back streets, we can see on closer inspection that it's actually a cute very happy looking wolf plushie.
My guess is that someone in the area wanted the extra space and so this poor plushie lost it's home either that or the local kids who were playing with it left it behind.
It's a big sized plushie in size so I don't think it would of been cheap the owner probably could of got some decent money for it.
While it's sad at least it's not a real animal and my hope was that it was picked-up by someone who would appreciate it as I haven't actually walked down this way in a long time and I'm glad.
This is because while in one way this scene might not look threatening but what happened last year just a few steps further down this road is worrying.
There sits a playground for kids, it's normally empty and I guess for good reason but just behind the playground there are some tress which blocks the view to a small water stream.
Well in the stream the dead body of a teenage boy was found, the theory is he must of been attacked while making he's way home as police claim that even today they still have no idea who the boy is and how the body ended up in the stream.
