Work has just commenced in cutting back the vegetation growth around the area of Poulton No.3 signalbox at Poulton-le-Fylde Junction, the former line to Fleetwood, the next phase in the electrification work being carried out between Preston and Blackpool North. On Tuesday 7th February 2017 contractors are busy shredding vegetation from the cutting on the former Fleetwood line as Northern 156 440 passes forming the 1N62 12:29 Manchester Airport to Blackpool North service. The line to Fleetwood was closed to passengers in 1970 and to freight services in 1999, but the home signal still remains in place and has now been revealed with cut back of growth!

During the last year we were fortunate enough to have some garden space to escape from the house (we indeed camped in the garden for a few weeks). Over winter we were more house bound, but now we have a warmish spell (it was literally double figures!) we have escaped to the garden again.
This photo in part me testing the eye focus on the X100F, which I'd never thought to try before, mostly as I don't take many people pictures. But the few pictures I'd taken of people in the spur of the moment do tend to have the face slightly out of focus, so I figured it was time to try use this new technology. This photo has the camera set to its shallowest depth of field and the photo has the face perfectly in focus, so job done!
SCOUT: "Sellotape is at the ready Paddy!"
PADDY: "Excellent work Scout! I'm just going to fold this piece of paper over." *Concentrates very hard.* "And if you can stick it with your Sellotape here." *Holds paper with paw.*
SCOUT: "Goodness Paddy! This is really pretty paper."
PADDY: "Yes it is Scout! It's hand made red paper that has been hand printed with gold flowers. Daddy bought it from a fancy paper shop called Zetta Florence."
SCOUT: "I'll be very careful with the Sellotape then, Paddy." *Carefully sticks Sellotape onto the paper with a trembling paw.*
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
I have been on a knitting kick lately. The project in purple is a linen sweater inspired by a Nicky Epstein design and the neutral garment in back is a finished dress inspired by a Lily Chin design.
We recently had our departmental holiday luncheon with Secret Santa gift giving. I'm fortunate to work with a really nice group. The pottery yarn bowl was the gift I was given - how thoughtful and beautiful! I'd not used one before. Now, I can't imagine knitting without it. It holds my yarn in place, and I now longer have to chase my yarn out from under my desk after it falls when I'm unraveling more yarn.
For those of my "crafty" friends who are interested, the yarn bowl comes from Ning's Pottery.
Best wishes for the holiday season and the New Year!
She is the most spoiled dog. Here she is on with my co-worker Lance. She jumps all the way up onto his shoulders, just to look outside.
Commision work for Kuranosuke

I'm doing full service, from skin color matching since it's a hybrid doll, blushing and face up removing, nails painting, face up, and extra scars on his back <3
While the three patrons were immersed in their after office work, the people on the ad poster above them appear to be having a fun time.
This was taken with my large "compact" camera, the Canon PowerShot G1X (the first model).
Sometimes, in my work, I discover places that inspire me. This is only an auxiliar light in a building under construction but I love how light wash the concrete wall. Color is caused by an oversight in white balance of my camera but i love it.
A veces, en mi trabajo descubro lugares que me inspiran. Esta es sólo una luz auxiliar en un edificio en construcción, pero me encanta cómo la luz baña el muro de hormigón. El color se debe a un olvido mio en el balace de blancos de mi camara, pero me gusta como ha quedado.
Even if your work
is only a turning wheel
love the turning,
love what you find
in the hub of you
and at the rim
where you flow away
to be the work
of a greater wheel.
