I can't believe how I still have flowers on my butterfly bushes after the morning frosts we've had. There are still a few bees hanging around. They move slow because of the cold, so it's a perfect opportunity to practice my macro shots.
Have a wonderful day Flickr friends. Tina and the Puglets xo
I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism and tips on how to improve my novice photography skills are always welcomed.

Endeavoring to improve this image along with showing what can be done with the Fuji-X cameras. I re-shot this photo using the averaging meter putting high lights in zone 7 [+2 exposure] and processed as a in camera jpeg where I softened the highlights & shadows by -1, then softened the clarity in camera raw for the final low key image..
Vanguard, 2 Riflemen, and a female Scout. Comment your favs. Ik they're similar but I think they look much better than some of the originals. Share your Rebel armies too!
Another brisk day, woke up to 0°F after a surprising full 8 hours of sleep (I normally average 6 1/2). I have to admit that as much as I dislike the cold I have become aware of the wonderful silence that accompanies it. People and their animals stay inside so there is very limited noise pollution from vehicles running, dogs barking, birds chirping, and even leaves rustling in the trees. It is stillness and silence and peace.
Oh, the tea is "pomegranate burst" green tea from Good Earth, it is one of my favorites! Also, the journal has returned since that was my goal this week to include it in every shot. My daughter and I have been drawing together for 30 minutes each morning before she goes to school. I have very limited drawing skills and hope that I will improve with practice if not, that's ok, I just love spending the creative time with my girlie.

A very new moon and a clearer atmosphere than any of my recent visits to the area. Papalote Rancho Viejo campsite in Big Bend Ranch State Park, Presidio County, Texas.
A view of one of my favourite Aldeburgh boats on a very grey day although the weather did improve later. I like the washed out look of this photo as it's different from the usual bold colours I normally capture at the seaside.

Dark day in the bird blind. I really wanted to practice using low shutter speeds and see if I could improve the images using curves and WB without introducing too much noise.
A special sugar dish, beautifully crafted by Spode pottery.
From the days when your afternoon cup of tea was accompanied by an elegant sugar bowl with a lid! A modest teaspoon of sugar was the only acceptable quantity!
It was seen as a luxury item in my family long before war brought a national shortage! The idea of having more than one spoonful in your cup of tea lingered on.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
Sugar rationing in Britain, introduced during World War II in January 1940 and lasting until September 1953, was a strict, long-term policy designed to manage severe food shortages. Citizens were limited to approximately 8 ounces (225g) of sugar weekly, with sweets and chocolate rationed from 1942. This restriction significantly improved national health.

One of my favourite little inland villages in Cornwall is Lerryn, which sits astride the Lerryn River. Lerryn functioned as a port until the early 20th century, by which time the river had silted up. Now it is just home to a number of small boats. A lime kiln dates from the early 1800s. As Cornwall has little limestone of its own it would have been imported and turned into lime in the kiln. It was then used by farmers to help improve the soil of their fields. Much of the surrounding countryside is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
100 photos?! Wow! Thank you all for your follows and faves. You encourage me to keep going and trying to improve. I really appreciate all of the advice I've received and the SL friends I've made through Flickr! ♥

After their overnight run from Medley, FL, FEC train 336 switches onto the Cemex City Point lead at CP City Point in Cocoa, FL.
CP City Point was rebuilt from its original configuration a few months prior to this photo. Originally, it was just the single main and the City Point lead with some standard vaders. Now, as you can see, there's a whole new main being built and two tracks that turn west off of the main to head toward Orlando for Brightline.
After some nights spent to learn and practice new imaging techniques, I propose a version of my first attempt to Andromeda Galaxy, less harsh, more realistic and detailed and (I hope) nicer to see.

Running on track 2 due to track 1 being out of service for maintenance, a passenger test extra, with freshly rebuilt CTrail GE P40BH 6711 and five cars, makes its way south on a dismal afternoon in Wallingford. 6711 is a former New Jersey Transit 4803 and Amtrak 820, which was built in July 1993. The 12 Connecticut Department of Transportation P40s are being overhauled and repainted at Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops in Indiana.
Please feel free to comment. It's lovely to be praised, but, if you see something which could improve an image don't be afraid to say! There are several of my contacts who give my images honest appraisal and I am grateful for that.

Original title “Working Girl” was inappropriate. Looked back at all my photos that year and asked myself what I liked best, and why. This is the type photo for a core theme—images resolving contradictions. In this case, order and chaos, as the woman cleans the window of a clock shop with a perfectly horizontal squeegee stroke in a sea of bubbles. Love her contemplative expression, and the clutter of urban reflections superimposed on the orderly interior of a Viennese clock seller.

The other one was so messy, so I redone the whole thing, and I also didn't like his previous owner...
Snowmaking is the production of snow by forcing water and pressurized air through a "snow gun," also known as a "snow cannon", on ski slopes. Snowmaking is mainly used at ski resorts to supplement natural snow. This allows ski resorts to improve the reliability of their snow cover and to extend their ski seasons from late autumn to early spring. Indoor ski slopes often use snowmaking. They can generally do so year-round as they have a climate-controlled environment.
The production of snow requires low temperatures. The threshold temperature for snowmaking increases as humidity decreases. Wet bulb temperature is used as a metric since it takes air temperature and relative humidity into account. Snowmaking is a relatively expensive process in its energy use, thereby limiting its use.

Photographic notes:
The magic of using a (super) telephoto lens is the "bokeh" effect.
I had other fixed focal length lens in my kit, though using the 300mm lens, I was able to use a very small aperture to improve front-to-back depth-of-field for the flower, yet render a very nice bokeh. The reasons for 1600 ISO were: It was an overcast day, and about to start drizzling rain, so not a lot of available light, though the photo was taken just after 1:00 p.m. on a Winter afternoon, in the southern hemisphere. Also, as I was not using a tripod, and not steady, I decided to use a shutter speed double my focal length, as a minimum. The combination of a maximum 1600 ISO and 1/640sec dictated f/10.0, though I would have preferred f/16.0, so there was a very real decision process for the photographic outcome I sought to render.
Cropping 6 X 6 or 4 X 5 offers other interesting possibilities.
