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 10/5/2025 I share this capture.

I went to sleep under the usual late hour last night, this as become more consistent lately because of all the early morning work shifts I get. And so I have adapted to this routine.. well or at least "I try to" because getting the right amount of sleep needed can be difficult. It's only difficult because I'm stubborn and want to fit everything in 1 day, and I guess for me it's just often not possible. Still I went to sleep later than I wanted to because I was so behind on things after falling asleep for a 1 hour nap so late yesterday. Falling asleep was not a problem with the night being milder and myself being tired from all the early morning shifts. I'm surprised I wasn't too over tired considering how late I went to sleep. The weather this morning was bright, the sky was a clear blue, it was a sunny looking morning, temperature wise it was just about comfortable. The heating as been on less lately, meaning I'm saving a bit on that end, but it still all costs too much and so you just see the money burning itself away. If anybody as any solutions to produce heat without the high costs let me know as I could use the money instead for more Steem. I woke-up only to my scheduled alarm, this happens now when I'm off from work. I still woke-up earlier than I wanted. 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 plans to meet up with friends later, recently this was a little more difficult because they are having some major house repairs. And so we wanted to give the workmen maximum time so that my friends can be comfortable at home again soon. But in the end I was surprised to receive a message saying they were unwell and so it was best to cancel the whole thing. Still I have many other things to get on with. I still want to continue with the kitchen at some point, improving and cleaning it's walls. I got all the pictures out of my phone and on to the computer, this is incase the battery on the phone stops working. I deleted all the pictures I didn't like. But now it's the task of organising them somewhat, but that will be a job for when I have the time to spare, but I try and get a few photos done each day. I worked on the garden today getting rid of weeds taking over the pathway. While doing some work on the computer I found a few things to watch, I been using this to keep me awake which as worked well. However today I noticed instead of it helping me it became a distraction and it was taking me 3 times longer to do everything. I'm disappointed with myself and so will stick to watching the videos only when I'm already tired and need something to stop me from falling asleep. Still after taking a 30 minute rest I managed to get a small quick workout done, there was no pain from the previous one and so far I have not felt the affects of getting one done today. After I went for dinner which was rice, chicken and falafel, lastly I started to prepare to settle in for the night. The TRX wallets on Steemit.com have been removed by the Steemit Developers part of the condenser project to fix the wrong display numbers. I think removing the TRX wallet is downscaling the usefulness of the SteemitWallet and the Steem token as a whole. We should of kept the TRX wallet functional, if you agree 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, 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 shared most of my finds around this elevation and got particularly stuck on the name of all the purple flowers that I 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 like how in this particular spot the grass twist almost like a nest for this plant.

In this capture I believe there are still likely 2 or 3 plants here that we could still consider actual flowers rather than what gardeners would consider weeds, however I'm sure that's very much up for debate.

Somewhere up here my friend rests in wait for me to arrive, this will be where the ground contains the most grass and where it grows the thicker rather than the weeds. And so I would say from the looks of things we are getting close now to finding them.

In the distance we can see the top of only the taller buildings, a long with the highest reaching tress, still it's more difficult to see out of the wide shot.
But that's fine because the point here was to capture the beautiful green colours directly 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 which are situated just slightly further down. On a slightly more zoomed capture with a wider shoot I think it makes it a little easier to see we are most likely not looking at street lamps.

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