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.

It is not hard to see why they make these in plastic for the garden-They are really quite beautiful. What happened to the wee guy with the fishing rod ?

Out of this world! They have the look of being hand painted.

Terrific capture! They're in such nice condition, and would make a wonderful story-book illustration!

Fungi they may be, but they look all the world like candied apples, decorated with some kind of chopped up fruit rinds, sitting atop white broccoli stalks. Something you might see in a Disney movie. Other than that, excellent clarity, color/colour and composition, A.

They could pass for a pair of glazed 'salt and pepper' shakers. Beautiful capture and bright colors. I like the addition of the acorns.
