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 8/2/2025 I share this capture.

I went to sleep under the usual late hour last night, this happened because of having all the early morning work shifts recently and so I'm trying to adapt to this routine. However I went to sleep later than satisfactory because I went out to meet with friends, still the food was worth it. Falling asleep was not a problem, I was so tired from the early morning shifts and meeting with friends. The weather this morning was dark, the sky was cloudy with rain on the way, while not right away it gradually got colder. The heating as been on more lately, 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 stayed indoors for the night, he remained quiet until the very early morning, he alters where he sleeps now to get away from a particular cat who keeps trying to be-friend him, unfortunately he is not interested in having a friend. 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 no plans to meet with friends because I saw them yesterday, I have a lot of chores to get on with and mostly wanted the rest. Still due to these early work shifts it works out better for me to meet with friends the day before I'm off work rather than on my actual day off. Right from the start I still had to tidy up things from meeting with friends last night, once it was all clear I have to see if I can find any information for a work task tomorrow that is only done once per week on a Sunday. I missed having to do this the previous 2 weeks since the early shifts began, but tomorrow it will be my turn to do it. Previously this went terribly, but only because I completely forgot about such a thing, I hope tomorrow things will be different. I wanted to continue with the bathroom, fighting some of the mold trying to settle on the other walls. However I was also getting a new toilet seat installed, changing a plastic one back to wood as I feel those always look nicer. This relatively simple task turned into a nightmare due to missing screws which cost me a lot of time to get sorted today. Since I was tired from sorting things out in the bathroom I began cleaning the boiler area instead. I went online to see if friends were on, most were unwell and couldn't make it so I decided not to stick around. This gave me time to make my paper wallet for work. 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 to try and keep the continued flu that is trying to take over at bay. After I went for dinner 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 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.

Today's Picture

This was captured on a day after I 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 the area and this particular photo was captured near the top, there are some large bushes surrounding parts of the hills. It's near these bushes where I spotted these flowers, they were close to some grass.

Even with all the greenery in the area this beautiful flower caught my attention, this is especially true because of it's purple like colour reaching out between the white, almost like it's been delicately painted or like you can see the veins for each petal.

We can see what I like to call "the cone" it's the same flower yes but still completely closed, I think likely because it's still growing. We can notice it here that this is a hairy flower also known to have trichomes, not only is the stem looking hairy but so are it's leaves. Perhaps this is to protect it from certain insects and predators, but it's also been said these hairs can help plants regulate water usage.

There was a moment when looking initially at these flowers that I thought perhaps these may have been the same purple flowers from a previous post, this is where I mentioned I couldn't find any open ones, but I don't believe these are in any way related to those.

Well I think it's obvious I don't know what these are 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.
