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 14/4/2024 I share this capture.

Last night I went to sleep way past the usual late hour, this was because I was working on some other projects and lost track of time. As for going to sleep it was still colder than I expected as when I arrived home from work earlier that day it was actually warm but the nights are still too cold. But the heavier blanket placed above the sheets does help and feels nice, initially I tried going to sleep without it as I didn't want to get too hot during the night. I should of guessed it was still much too cold to not use it, I expected this morning to be difficult to get out of bed but not this difficult. And so yes I rested past my scheduled alarm as I know I must rest to keep that horrible flu at bay. The good thing about today and why it seemed logical to do so was because I didn't have work and so going past my alarm was not a big issue. I'm not blaming the cold but it does seem to have a affect for me when it comes to getting out of bed and beginning the day. The weather this morning was actually very bright, enough that it was actually hurting my eyes which is rare but strangely it wasn't that sunny out as there was still a lot of darker clouds covering the sky. Lucky for me with such a late start I didn't have work to get in for but did have plans to meet with friends later, since they don't have work as they are enjoying their last day off for the eater holidays. But I also really didn't want this late start as there was a lot I wanted to get done and one of those things was definitely hunting down some more Steem as there as been a fall in price. This was obvious and showed while I searched out a deal, I wasn't able to get the best deal sure but it was still much closer to what I was usually able to find before the market spiked. I also done a few chores but honestly didn't get half the things I wanted done before leaving. Still this way I left on time hopefully before it starts to rain or something, I did again think about not taking the extra layer with me but I felt cold at home and usually it's not much better outside. As I made my way to seeing friends I was very glad I kept the layer on as the wind did make a few instances still rather chilly. I talked to my friends about the mosquito problem that everybody is suddenly having and also the drop in the crypto market. I left a little earlier than usual as there was no distractions and seemed like the weather may of got worse again. It had definitely turned colder which is what I expected for the night, strangely there were more people than usual out exercising. On Steemit.com I'm very glad to still see it working as it should, work on updating the look of the Steemit.com interface continues on for something more "modern" I was very worried about this but the changes aren't anything drastic and Alpha testing can now be tried. 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 subject of flowers.

I believe this was captured on the way to work near the super market as the weather was getting better, I have shared in the past a similar photo where there is a lot going on. What we do know about the image is that there are a few things growing here and one of them is for sure roses, likely the traditional common ones. We can still see a example of the roses on the bottom right side, but since there is a lot going on in the scene and because I'm curious about the flower in focus I have gone for a close-up here to get rid of all the other noise. Yes our focus this time is solely on this white flower which actually isn't fully white as it's got this slight tint of pink especially more towards it's petal edges. Which I think you can still make out in the photo but also I don't know what they are called. But with this comes a opportunity for you, if you know anything about flowers, if you recognise the flower and know it's name let me know in the comments section below and possibly win 🏆 a upvote from me.
