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 25/6/2024 I share this capture.

Last night I went to sleep way past the usual late hour, this was disappointing and due to a few things. I received a phone call from a friend which went on for longer than it should, this put me behind on getting dinner ready, during dinner I received another phone call. This one was from my father who had not called in a while updating me on things, after that I was able to finish my dinner, finally the last was gathering some information for some content creation. As for falling asleep this took me longer than usual again, this was more likely down to it being so late and feeling over-tired rather than the heat. When I did fall asleep I woke-up a few times before my scheduled alarm, I think this time it was because of the heat. I tried going back to sleep with little luck, even if I did want to continue sleeping🤷‍♂️. I expected this morning for it to be troublesome to get out of bed, I woke-up to the alarm which was set for later than usual, I rested past it but not for much longer. This was not a problem as for today I didn't have work to be in for but I did have plans to meet with friends later... well possibly. I warned them that I wanted to get some Steem today and since I'm having trouble doing this at the moment "yet again" that it could take some time. I also wanted to get some basic chores done before doing so. As for the weather this morning compared to the previous 2 days it's a mixture of the nice sunny weather we had previously with some extra clouding. Like yesterday I don't think the clouds are going to take over and make it a darker day but we will see. With such a late start to the day I just about managed to get done some of the basic things I needed, I didn't get half the things I wanted done and no I was not able to get anymore Steem at the moment which I hope will change soon. Leaving this time I had to change a bit what I would usually wear as it seemed like it was going to remain very hot outside. Well I was right it continued to be very hot outside as those clouds didn't take over in the end, I received a call from friends saying they were not going to meet me a long the way as they have to run home to get infront of the air-con and so for me to meet them there. Once with friends it was really nice to be in a room with air-con, I was surprised they left it running the whole time that we was there as it's obviously expensive. We played with the dogs and also had some good chats catching-up, some of my favourite conversations were about family, pets, games and evolution. I thought we was going to leave late but in the end we got out with decent time, it was absolutely lovely outside, it was nice and cool with just a bit of wind with the sun-down still on course. I definitely took my time getting home as I know it would be very odd there and for a Tuesday I was surprised by just how many people out who seemed to be going out to a party. On Steemit.com I'm 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, the main focus here is a single Red Ballerina Heesterrozen. While it's called the Red Ballerina Heesterrozen I honestly feel it's more pink in colour, of course since it's a black and white image I won't go on about those details on this particular post.

Regardless I love the colour contrast of these flowers, it makes them look beautiful and it's why I decided going for a black and white it might of just been a good idea. I personally like how it looks, we also have some of the unknown leaves here. Just behind the captured Ballerina Heesterrozen is a very clear sharp looking leaf which like feeling it makes the image even more interesting.

It's said the Red Ballerina Heesterrozen is a continuous flowering "shrub rose" this is because it can stand most weather conditions, it's fragrant level is said to be of a mild fragrance.

Unfortunately since we already know this is the Red Ballerina Heesterrozen there will be no upvote for guessing it's name, however there is also the plant with the grey like buds which we have now encountered here a few times does anybody know what they are? The picture is below if you recognise the flower hosting the buds and know it's name let me know in the comments section below and possibly win 🏆 a upvote from me.
