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 21/10/2024 I share this capture.

When having my father turn up to visit me it caused a few issues to get out posts however the previous night it was also nearly missed. Not because of my father because he returned home but because it was the birthday of my friend and so I had arrived home late. As for last night I went to sleep just past the usual late hour which is a improvement compared to the previous 2. Falling asleep was a bit of a problem, not exactly sure why perhaps my mind was just too busy. The weather this morning like I expected is dark, cloudy and miserable looking, unlike yesterday there as been no rain but likely similar to yesterday it will start to rain later in the day. Thankfully it's not been cold, later at night yes but during the morning not so bad. I woke-up only to my scheduled alarm, I hope to stop waking up 1 or even 2 hours prior to my alarm which as been happening since my father was here visiting. I have been resting for way past the alarm lately, but thankfully this morning I was able to get started for the day relatively soon after the alarm. I keep remembering the horrifying truth that I will soon be doing some very early shifts again in a few days argh😠 and so need to improve my sleeping. I thought it was actually tomorrow that the early shifts would begin but thankfully it's only after this weekend coming is over. With a slightly earlier start I also didn't have work to be in for which means this was a good opportunity to get many more chores and things done. As you know I have been wanting to try for some more Steem this week, as it's been a little while since I have been able to do this because of travelling and then being visited by my father unexpectedly. Unfortunately I had been dealing with mostly the same problems from before when I went travelling. Which is basically the sellers not respecting your time or even you as a customer. Well yesterday I finally got some responses from the sellers. Apparently for the moment they are not able to make certain trades due to some liquation issues. They are now waiting for a specific member of their team to return and bail them out of the situation. It's insane but at least I got a response and even got them to tell me when they expect to be running again with the trades I need to make. They told me it was estimated in about 1 week I should be able to trade with them. I guess I should be ok to wait yet another week.. I was also shocked the other day to discover that without warning my TRX wallet on Steemit.com had just disappeared, and this was a long with all the funds I had in there. I learnt later that the TRX distribution code has been removed from the wallet by the Steemit developers. This was part of the condenser project to fix all the wrong display numbers from the rewards "which I'm glad was fixed" but I think removing the TRX wallet from the SteemitWallet is downscaling the usefulness of the SteemitWallet as a whole. After panicking for a bit I assumed that perhaps the only way to recover the funds is to make a new tron account with TronLink and then if possible adding the Steem generated TRX account to that newly created account. This already seems confirmed by others but regardless I still think we should keep the TRX wallet functional, well I guess this is not the type of post for such a long discussion on the topic but I do think it's important to repeat it because some users are going to be wondering what the hell is going on. Later in the day I payed some bills and continued to study some of the annoying financial stuff for work. I tell myself I can't do it and struggling but I also must realise I have improved as I feel I actually know what is what, versus when I didn't even know what I was looking at. To unwind from that and get away from looking at screens I went for one of those quick workouts and felt better to meet with friends online. Half of them turned up and I was happy with the progress made. When the session was over I went for dinner spoke with my dad who said he was going to be moving again soon. Hope you have a good day or night and I will see you on the next Steemit post.

Today's Picture

As for the picture today I share some flower photography, a quick disclaimer I understand that this type of photography on Steemit has a bit of a bad reputation. This is because it was often used by spammers to make like 8 posts each day.
Hopefully as you can see from my blog I'm nowhere near making 8 or more posts per day on the topic of flower imagery.

This was captured on a day after I had just finished work, I had already been home, got changed and 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 been sharing a few of my finds and now I'm stuck on the name of a purple flowers that I shared on previous posts.

Thankfully in this capture I share today it photograph's a flower that even those who don't known anything about flowers will still likely recognize. I'm of course talking about the famous "daisy" flower.
Due to it being a warm day when the image was taken the sun was strong making this one actually difficulty to tell that they are infact daises. It's the first image I have shared here of the daisy in black and white, while I enjoy the affect the sun as given the image it does make it difficult to tell they are daises.

There's lot of them up here as you can see from the image, infact this is just the initial daisy area, there's a small piece of land with a lot more of them which I'm going to have to share on here another time.

Daises are said to thrive in various environments, from wet to dry climates, apparently they can adapt to both sunny or shady spots for their on-going survival. We know already that Daisies can grow on high hills but they can also do well on much bigger ones like in mountains. But typically I myself have found them in the grasslands.

Unfortunately since we already know this is the Daisy there will be no upvote for guessing it's name, however the purple flowers from the previous post still remains a mystery.
