twilight kissed - Get Pushed Challenge 13

I owe Lyn Todd (@ltodd) a debt of gratitude for giving me this challenge. Playing with long exposures for her challenge has reinvigorated me. I've been feeling stagnant lately, and this whole week, I've been excited to get out there and see what I can capture.

With the low tides hitting at the same time I get off work (the only time I have right now to photograph), I haven't managed the elusive silken water shots yet. But she's opened my eyes to the beauty of photographing twilight.

Thank you Lyn!

Patty your words of kindness are very much appreciated! I do spend at least an hour looking at an album before choosing a challenge, and it is really so worthwhile if I select the right challenge! I do see a difference in the way you have approached your shots - and it looks like this has been another step forward in your photographic journey. I am very happy to have shared a small part of your journey with you! :)
