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 22/10/2024 I share this capture.

I didn't arrive late last night from seeing any friends but I went to sleep just past the usual late hour which is about the same as the previous night. Annoying as I wanted to do better but spent too long finishing Dragon Spirit. Falling asleep was a bit of a problem, and this time I know exactly why, it was the cold which I'm guessing is going to start being a problem. The weather this morning finally changed from being the expected dark, cloudy and miserable looking, instead it was bright with a lot of sunshine however the sky wasn't exactly fully clear but still a lot nice compared to most of the week. There as been no rain but likely similar to yesterday it will start to rain later in the day. This morning it was very obvious that it was much colder giving me difficulty to start the day. I woke-up again nearly 2 hours before 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, thankfully yesterday morning I was able to get started for the day relatively soon after the alarm. But this morning it was not possible the cold made it difficult to get out of bed. 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. With another late start I was sure glad I 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 lately week, unfortunately I had been dealing with mostly the same problems from before. But the other day I finally got some responses from the sellers who apparently for the moment they are not able to make certain trades due to some liquation issues. This was their reason for the terrible service lately, but at least I got a response and even got them to tell me when they expect to be running again. 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. Also if you agree with me write to them here asking to for the return the TRX Wallet on Steemit TRXWallet Later in the day I received some messages from work, not only did they want me to start work earlier tomorrow but they also took away the day off I had after tomorrow. I was already starting in the morning and for them to want me to arrive even earlier I have to admit I'm just not prepared for it lol. As for taking away my day off.. well I would of loved nothing better than to enjoy it but I really need the money to combat the many things that have been happening. I Should of continued to study some of the annoying financial stuff for work but never got round to it. I tell myself that I can't do it and struggling but I also must realise I have improved and I feel I actually know now what is what, versus when I didn't even know what it was that I was even looking at. To unwind and get away from screens I went for one of those quick workouts and felt better. After I went to meet with friends online, half of them turned up as expected and I was happy with the progress made. When the session was over I went for dinner which includes defeating more cake. 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 there are various bushes and flowers, I already shared a few and now stuck on the name of 2 purple flowers that I shared on previous posts.

However this time I will share a bush or is it a fern.. I'm not too sure either? But I'm guessing this one is a fern, I have initially gone for the close-up as I have always like the amazing web like details on this type of fern.
I will of course share more images of this fern because there was a another fern spotted in the area, the same type with a fascinating combination of growth.

Well I think it's obvious that I don't know what these are called. Well maybe because I actually think this might be the fern called Horsetail. However even if it is Horsetail I'm not sure which type of Horsetail it is suppose to be. But with this comes a opportunity for you, if you know anything about plants, and if you recognise this plant and know it's name let me know in the comments section below and possibly win 🏆 a upvote from me.
