Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!Â
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper! Â
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

I've always loved Birches....I had a River Birch for a few years and then it mysteriously died. Nice work.

Beautiful and fascinating! Our silver birch here are not so deeply scored ... their bark is smoother than this. (Must be like the robins, I suppose.) The moss is lovely, and your composition choice sings! Love this!

We have a lot of birch around here. They are a marvelous tree.

I love the texture of tree bark, and this is one of the reasons why. Awesome pic.

You have captured the texture of the bark so beautifully in this image. I love the moss on them too. There are some silver birches that love there feet in very damp places, our silver birches around here seem to thrive in the dry. I'm a big fan of them.

A wonderful combination of crusty old bark and soft lush moss. Excellent capture.
