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 28/5/2025 I share this capture.

I went to sleep under the usual late hour last night, this as become more consistent lately because of all the early morning work shifts that I get. And so I have adapted to this routine.. or at least "I try to" because getting the right amount of sleep needed can be difficult. Well it's difficult because I'm stubborn and want to fit everything in that I want to get done on the day, and I guess for me it's often just not possible. Still I went to sleep later than I wanted to because I had gone to see friends unexpectedly due to some work shift chances. Falling asleep was not a problem which surprised me because I should of been very overtired, especially with the previous days also getting very little rest during the weekend event. The weather this morning was relatively dark, the sky was mostly cloudy, it was a sad looking morning, temperature wise it was just about chilly. Still if anybody as any solutions to produce heat without the high costs let me know as I could use that money saved to instead get more Steem. I woke-up only to my scheduled alarm, this happens now when I'm off from work. I still woke-up earlier than I wanted but at a much better time. It was difficult to get out of bed, but only because I wanted to get more rest after missing out during the week and due to the weekend event. 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 up with friends later because I had seen them just yesterday and already spent the entire weekend with them. Meeting as been a little more difficult lately because my friends are having some major house repairs done. And so we want to give the workmen their maximum time so that my friends can be comfortable again quickly. However they have been pressuring me to meet again but I'm just too busy and life needs balance. I got all the pictures out of my phone and on to the computer, this is incase the battery on the phone stops working. I deleted all the pictures I didn't like. But now it's the task of organising them somewhat, but that will be a job for when I have the time to spare, but I try and get a few photos done each day. I managed to catch-up with a few things today but not much as I hoped for, I met with friends online, half showed up. I got there a little earlier hoping to get more done but started receiving calls from other friends that slowed the process I feel somewhat. After 10 without getting doing my small work-outs today I managed to get it done. I don't think I pushed myself to the point it might hurt later but we will see. The previous time I pushed it again and I started to feel the effects of it, but honestly I been enjoying getting them done again. After I went for dinner which was chicken, pasta, spinach and beans, lastly I started to prepare to settle in for the night. The TRX wallets on Steemit.com have been removed by the Steemit Developers part of the condenser project to fix the wrong display numbers. I think removing the TRX wallet is downscaling the usefulness of the SteemitWallet and the Steem token as a whole. We should of kept the TRX wallet functional, if you agree 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

I often spend some of my time taking care of many abandoned cats who mostly all suffer from some form of psychological trauma. At one point there was 16 of these cats that needed our support/care, over the years this number as gone down to 7, and so sometimes I share their life's moments here on Steemit. Some of your upvotes and the rewards received from this post will be used to support them a long with the continued support for the Steem Token itself.

Resuming with a few more cat photos this capture was taken at the beginning of summer, it was still one of those relatively dark days, however by the early afternoon the sun was out!
This was enough to get the interest of Tinkerbell "the pictured cat" to venture outside, we decided to place "her" blue towel outside in-case she would be more comfortable on it.

The results were very good, she decided it was a good spot to catch a bit of sun, and so on this photo we sneak up on Tinkerbell enjoying the garden sunshine.

This isn't a close-up like previously shared but instead a lighter black and white side view.
I really like the details thanks to the sun giving me the light needed, however from the set I feel the a previous photo was still a slightly better capturing the details as this one was to light.
Regardless to make up for it I believe I can still find and share a better photo from this scene.

Initially in the captures she's very relaxed with our presence, and I promised to show more on her reaction on further posts.
After our camera approach and still relaxed by our presence she continued to be pleased, she shows this as she begins by clutching her claws on the towel which was a good sign.

Tinkerbell is no longer with us but I still want to continue recording and sharing her pictures here on the blockchain a long with the others cats to archive them. She was a very violent cat initially due to what she had suffered in life, but spending years in our care she eventually started to mellow down "almost completely" especially around me, in my presence she was very calm to the point this violent cat became a sweetheart. There was even a point where she would give me human like hugs when I would pick her up, and that's just something about her that stands out to me, and it's something that I can't forget and miss.
