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 26/4/2025 I share this capture.

I went to sleep under the usual late hour last night, this as become more consistent now because of all these early morning work shifts. And so I have adapted to this routine or at least "I try" to because getting the right amount of sleep needed can be difficult. Still I went to sleep later than I wanted because I was late getting out of call with friends online and because of watching a video. Falling asleep was not a problem with the night being milder and myself being tired from all the early morning shifts. The weather this morning was bright, the sky was mostly cloudy, a miserable looking morning, temperature wise it was just about comfortable. The heating as been on less lately, meaning I'm saving a bit more on that end but it still all costs too much and so you just see the money burning itself away. I woke-up only to my scheduled alarm, this happens now when I'm off from work. I don't think I got too hot during the night, however I did awake earlier than I wanted. This morning 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, however this got cancelled because some of them are having house repairs done, rather than disturb the workmen who are willing to work today it's best for them to get as much completed so my friends can be comfortable. It's a shame this had to be the case when I had the free time and I looked forward to the exercise, but 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 a bit, but that will be a job for when I have spare time. Yesterday by the end when being on call, my friend dropped a bombshell on missing material. Meaning I'm not done with the prep after all, this is annoying, just as I thought I had caught up haha. While I didn't get on call tonight I started to gather the missing material which will be much more difficult to get compared to what I thought. Well after 132 days of missing out on small quick workouts today I finally got one done. I of course took it easy after so long, but the body seems to have handled it well. After I went for dinner which was Chinese food and 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

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, and so 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.

Resuming with a few more cat photos this photo was taken at the beginning of summer on still a relatively dark day, however 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 in-case 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, and so on this photo we sneak up on Tinkerbell enjoying the sunshine. This isn't a close-up like previously shared but instead a black and white side view.
I really like the details thanks to the sun giving me the light needed, however from the set I feel there is still a slightly better capture that I must find to share.
Initially in the captures she's very relaxed with our presence, and I promised to share more on her reaction on further posts.
After our camera approach and still relaxed by our presence she continued to be pleased, she shows this as she begins by clutching her claws on the towel which was a good sign.

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 to archive them. She was a very violent cat initially 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.
