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 10/8/2022 I share this capture.

It's August already and so far it's not been as hot compared to July but we do keep getting weather warnings of very hot weather supposedly always coming the following day which doesn't really happen in the end. It's good for those who are actually on holiday during the biggest holiday month here but those working the hot weather is not so fun. While many people have now gone back to focusing on the war I have noticed even that's gone a bit quiet lately. There was a big focus on fires not too long ago as they seem to of been doing their new yearly tradition yet again on burning down many forests and other important food related buildings. Still it's incredible that the war as been going on for way over 100 days and yet it still continues, others have gone back to focusing on the covid nonsense..

I went to sleep around the usual late hour last night with intentions of getting up a little later as to get some rest but I don't feel like I have rested too well as the previous night I went to sleep even later and got up really early for work.
And yesterday was one of the few nights that I think the heat may have effected my sleeping.
Lastly it didn't help getting this morning such a early phone call from my dad, I'm still confused as too why exactly he felt he needed to call at such an early hour.

I didn't have work today so I could of rested more if I wanted but I was meeting with friends later and so I spent most of the morning catching up with things around the house.
The weather as been sunny this morning with the heat already creeping in, it was said on the forecast today would be the hottest day so far this month and probably for this month it was but there were probably 3 days in July which were hotter.
And so I'm happy I wont be at work today and spent most of the day outdoors with friends, we went to this place that supposedly sells pizza but they didn't...??
So we left but really fancied pizza, luckily I knew of a place further down so suggested we go there, luckily the ovens were functioning and we got our pizza.
While happy we managed to get one over the guy who was falsely advertising pizza it was such a shame that the pizza fell short of all our expectations even mine who I feel I'm less fussy than some of my friends.
We will not ever be buying pizza from that place again as it was undercooked and it just didn't taste that great even if it had extra cheese.

One of my main objectives was to try and leave earlier as lately I have been leaving too late from seeing friends, the previous times were a little better but today was probably the worst.

Returning home it was much cooler and the streets were nicely empty which is good in one way as there's lately been an insane amount of killings around here this past week I honestly don't know what on earth is wrong with people to keep committing such horrible acts.

Picture

Anyway as for the picture today I share some flower photography and yes I know that flower photography on Steemit as a bit of a bad reputation because it was often used by spammers to make like 8 posts each day, but hopefully as you can see from my blog I'm nowhere near making 8 or more posts per day.
This was captured as the nice weather started, I'd say around nearly a month in, I was on my way to meet a friend on the day and I walked past these roses. But I suddenly had to stop and capture them as not only did they looked beautiful but there was a very slight pleasant smell from them in the air.
This might be so far the best capture from the other roses posted previously but I'm not sure. I noticed some of the petals were beginning to have that burnt look perhaps from having too much sun or not enough still they seemed to be the ones who give out the most smell.
There is also a rather larger petal to the to bottom right corner when comparing with the rest of them perhaps it's been turned inside out. After stopping for a while to admire these roses I continued to make my way home and thought about other possible captures of different beautiful flowers that I could find and share.
