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 8/10/2024 I share this capture.

Like I expected it was often difficult to get posts out while I was travelling to visit my father. Now on my return things got back to normal, however what I didn't expect was my father to turn up here to visit me so soon again. So far it's still been possible to get out posts but just about and so if your wondering why there was no post on a particular day, or why the posts were going out at unusual times, it's because for the moment my father is down visiting and can require a lot of attention. To put out a post it may not always be possible, anyway I had caught up on sleep yesterday but that's been undone now. This was of course because of my father who thought it would be ok to wake me up at 3 in the morning requesting I help him get on the computer. I'm not sure if I was just too angry or awake that I couldn't get back to sleep, regardless I'm back to running on about 3 to 4 hours of sleep. The weather this morning as been a mixture of both rain and sunshine, but what remains the same is the mostly cloudy sky. I woke-up a total of 5 hours before my alarm and just rested until it was time to get started for the day. I just about caught my father going out which means this was a good opportunity to get a few chores done before having to go into work. He told me this time he would only be arriving later tonight, he also said he would be stopping by my work later, maybe on the way home I guess. I just hope he doesn't go in there and gets me fired somehow with his shenanigans lol. Unfortunately what ended up happening this afternoon was not much because I fell asleep at my desk, and I only have one person to blame for that. I have barely been able to get any of training done for work but at least this afternoon I made a small start on it which I'm sure won't be good enough for work and I kind of wouldn't blame them. I managed to get online with friends even if I was a little late it didn't matter as they were only ready later. Between that my father arrived home roughly around the time I was expecting, he was extremely tired which didn't surprise me at all and in pain because he had clearly over done it. And so for the rest of the night he suffered which is well deserved but the problem is he won't learn from it lol. 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, also 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 the area and this was near the top somewhere, it's here where these flowers were growing and from the looks of things they are growing by a lot getting so tall. As you can see by the photo they continue to get taller further down to a point they look like they are climbing a wall due to the hill elevation. Which on another post we will likely take a closer look at those ones too. I'm not sure if these particular flowers are just shaped like this or if they are still little baby buds that open up at some point. If that's the case I believe I don't have any photo of them open, all the ones I have seen all look the same. Normally you would be able to at least find some at the different stage, either growing, closed or opening. But these were the only ones I saw all at the same stage even further down the taller ones all still looked the same. This was of course captured still during lots of daylight and so if they do open I think I should of been able to capture some, perhaps they only open at night to let their scent fill the air, I doubt it was still too low of a temperature for them as it was a warm day.

I think it's obvious I don't know what this flower is called. But with this comes a opportunity for you, if you know anything about flowers, and if you recognise this flower and know it's name let me know in the comments section below and possibly win 🏆 a upvote from me.
