There are moments of life we capture in pictures, some of which represent a moment of reflection of happiness, moments of escape from danger, finding new interesting things around and so on.

I have got some rare pictures to share with you today, they are all rare but with high value representing a true moment worthy of documentation.

A friend of mine came around some time ago and saw my wedding ring on my finger, he jokingly expressed his feelings that he thought I would have removed it. I smiled on that day and told him I always have the ring on me all the time.

Sometime later, I remembered what the guy said about the ring on my finger and I took a picture of it, precisely on Jan 27th 2024. I remember writing a tweet about it that even though it's not a diamond ring I gladly wear it with pride. It's a precious image to me.

The second image on my list today is a tribute to Valentine's Day, I deemed it fit to design a meme website people can share with their loved ones for a random selection of gifts. I themed it ValGiftSelector and had it hosted on my Github account. After it was ready, I took a picture of the landing page of my meme website.

I have an array of gifts on the code of this meme website with around 6 items that include a dinner date, cinema date, jewellery and so on. A user can easily click the show my gift button to get his/her random gifts.

It worked well for some friends as they requested having more gifts on the array to suit what they can offer their loved ones. It's one of that playful coding moments I had to document on 11th February 2024. You can also play around with it here - https://btcfixesthis.github.io/ValGiftSelector/.

I narrowly escaped burning down the house on February 24 2024. It was one of those stressful days, I came back home tired at night and my wife was on night duty. I felt the urge to eat boiled eggs that night and I entered the kitchen to make 2 eggs and set them on fire. I made my way to the bedroom just to relax a bit before checking back on the egg in ten minutes.

Unfortunately, I didn't set a timer on my phone. I slept off and only woke about an hour later when my alarm rang for one of my daily activities. I woke up and was choked with the smoke from the burnt eggs.

The kitchen, sitting room and other parts of the house were filled with smoke. The water has dried off and the eggs are burnt already. I tried hard to reach the gas cooker and turned it off. It was a narrow escape because I couldn't imagine what kind of debt I would be into now from burning down my landlord's house and other people's properties.

In conclusion, pictures symbolize moments of life that are important to the photographer and they speak clearer language, so we can easily see what message they are passing across by mere glance. Some are rare images of reflection of life or escape from danger and I have shared with you three rare pictures. I hereby invite @chilaw, @patjewell and @wilmer1988 to participate in the contest.
