Photography or a image I feel often captures those treasured moments in ones life but I also find that just like the act of writing our collective pictures can also be an art-form. The beauty and meaning of photograph can be expressed and shared in many ways including "by not using any words".

While I do like photography I used to share images when I could that I captured day to day events, the feedback was mostly positive and I continued sharing these "Ulog type" photos.

Almost every picture as a story to tell, or at least that is what I have often been told by some of my regular followers when I first started sharing photos on here.
To those who have often said and expressed that to me I would have to agree with them.

Today 24/3/2022 I share this capture.

In March the marching army outside the borders of Ukraine were sent in firing their weapons, as what was a coming war is now very much happening in the streets of the Ukrainians. Also the Bittrex wallet for Steem continues to be inactive, all this together is a nightmare.

I went to sleep late last night and had to get up early this morning infact I woke up a whole bunch of times beforehand probably with the fear of missing my alarm, so I could of definitely done with more sleep..
It wasn't too difficult to get out of bed which I guess didn't surprise me much as I seem to have a better time waking up in the early mornings with little sleep but of course usually suffer for it later for it.

Still what also helps to get the day started is not to be feeling freezing cold in the morning, the sun was already shinning in even a few hours before I was up.

I had work this morning again, the early shift which is what I have had for most of this week.

As I approached my work place this that machine i mentioned yesterday was still out there and so I thought that later it would be in use, but this was not the case when I left work so I wonder why it's still not been moved.
Also as I arrived the superior who I thought would of been called in yesterday to cover those missing was instead in for the morning, just my luck I suppose..

Since I didn't need to be in for long I thought I wouldn't be doing my usual work in peace, but apart from a few things I was mostly left to it which was nice as I was able to get out early on what I assumed would continue to be a nice day of sunshine outside.

I went to do a little shopping quickly after work and then hurried home, I was in somewhat of a rush because I was meeting with a friend later after they finished training.
I wanted to get home quickly not because I had to go meet my friend that was not until a little later but because I needed to get a few things done at home before leaving.

When I went to meet my friend the weather was still very decent, as normally by that time it starts to get chilly.

But when returning home it turned cold which I did expect but even being prepared for colder weather I admit I was feeling very cold returning home.
It was mostly very quiet out tonight which was nice, the only busy part was by the gas station where a large number of trouble makers were passing but luckily they didn't bother me.

Picture

Anyway as for the picture today I share one of my cat Daniel, which I began posting more of him lately.
Shame really as unfortunately poor Daniel is no longer with us, he died at home with us under the best care and love we could give him.
Daniel was completely different to he's brother Toffee, he as always been a gentle soul who didn't ask for much, he mostly just wanted to be excepted and safe.
Daniel was always very shy and took what he suffered from previous humans harshly as it took a very long time for him to settle with us, sad really as I always wanted him to feel more at ease here and to put that life behind him.
It's obviously not easy as even for humans trauma sticks with us, sometimes even forever.
Which actually by looking at some of the previous photos I posted I feel you wouldn't think he had a care in the world.
In this above view shot the light made he's white fur a little too bright for this photo you can also already see that poor Daniel started to lose weight and was looking a little more frail.
Still my hope was the he was well rested and most importantly happy as it's always how I wanted him to be, happy in he's last real home.
