    Barbara, thank you for your kind comment on my page. It’s always a shock to the system when the temps change  so dramatically after a hot summer, but we get used to it and   with clothing to withstand  such cold temps, I’m able to get out and about.  I alter the camera setting  indoors before going outside.  I have a remote shutter control, which has quite  a long cable.  Using a  monopod, I can hold the camera comfortably with a mitten on, while the other is tucked inside my -40c overalls to  take the shot  with the remote shutter.  I unzip the  overalls enough to slip my hand in with the shutter. So my one hand  is only exposed for  a matter of seconds at a time.   All the projects  posted are really lovely.  Well done everyone!  Today  I went with  this photo.  I’m already dreaming of summer.  The only shot I have ever taken of a Humming bird with it’s tongue out.  For the background I used a  plain colour, and added an overlay, then played with the blend modes to get the desired effect. For the background border I selected all,  effects, 3D effect, buttonize.  I also moved the  blue splatter below the mask, to show more of the  photo.
