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 15/1/2025 I share this capture.

I went to sleep nicely under the usual late hour last night, this happened because of having early morning work shifts recently and so I'm trying to adapt to this routine. Falling asleep was a bit of problem, I don't think this was because of "a earlier bed time" but instead from the cold. The weather this morning was very dark, the sky was cloudy, slightly foggy no rain which surprised me, it was cold straight from getting out of bed. The heating as been on more lately and so meaning I'm just seeing the money burning itself away. I woke-up only to my scheduled alarm which is what I want. Our cat alarm clock did not spent the night here, and so giving me the chance to sleep. I have been resting a lot past the alarm lately, not only because of the cold but I want to make sure I get the rest needed, which I believe as been helping me. This morning was a big 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. There was no plans to meet with friends because they are all working and so giving me a good chance to try and adjust somewhat for the weeks of very early morning shifts. I still need to continue tweaking my schedule because I'm not getting the correct amount of sleep I need. While I'm still about 2 hours away from what would be ideal if I can shorted that 2 hour cap by just a little more I think it will be ok. I'm going to aim to leave half hour earlier from meeting with friends online, this should help me slowly getting other commitments out of the way in hopes of getting that earlier bed time. I wanted to get some more Steem but having paid some bills lately it's a bit difficult, however today I will b pushing to try and get some more. This happen but like typical theme sellers leave you hanging, of course once time was up they then claimed they were available but that's nonsense to keep you hanging around again. So I went to meet with friends online and everybody showed up but we were all tired and all seem to be on early morning shifts meaning it was easier than I expected to cut off half hour earlier. 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 checked-in with my father, and lastly I started to prepare to settle in for the night. Steem is going up and down, unfortunately mostly staying near the dreaded "middle" value which I mostly expected, this makes progress on Steemit much more difficult. 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.

I often spend some of my time taking care of many abandoned cats who mostly all suffer from some form of psychological trauma. At one point there was 16 of these cats that needed our support/care, over the years this number as gone down to 7. Sometimes I share their life's moments here on Steemit. Some of your upvotes and the rewards received from this post will be used to support them a long with the continued support for the Steem Token itself.

It's been less often that I have done these cat photoshare posts, but I had found many flowers for my photos and wanted to continued trying to discover what they were. The people of Steemit have helped me identify a few of them by just simply sharing them right here on the platform, this as been another great showcase on the uses that the Steemit blockchain can provide.

Hopefully I can do these cat posts a little more often, this photo was taken at the beginning of summer on still a relatively dark day but by the early afternoon the sun was out.
This was enough to get the interest of Tinkerbell "the pictured cat" to venture outside, we decided to place "her" blue towel outside incase she would be more comfortable on it.

The results were very good she decided it was a good spot to catch a bit of sun, on this photo we sneak up on Tinkerbell enjoying the sunshine. On this photo we have gone for a close-up she's relaxed for now but will share on another post her reactions to our presence at different times.

Tinkerbell is no longer with us but I still want to continue recording and sharing her pictures here on the blockchain a long with the others cats. She was a very violent cat due to what she had suffered in life but spending years in our care she eventually started to mellow down "almost completely" especially around me, in my presence she was very calm to the point this violent cat became a sweetheart. There was even a point where she would give me human like hugs when I would pick her up, and that's just something about her that stands out to me, and it's something that I can't forget and miss.
