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.

Oooohh! I love this! That winter overcoat is stunning. Moss here, lichen there, exposed bark peeking through ... it's wonderful! I do so enjoy the way you see the world. :)

Great title...I can sense the warm, fuzzies that the old oak must be feeling all dressed up like this:)

All bundled up for the nasty weather. Looks like some kind of moss growth also.

This is wonderful.

Superb by itself and if you turn it anti-clockwise ninety degrees you have a heavily forested landscape. A super pic.

Marvelous capture with this tight POV it is amazing.

Oh, this is lush! I mean, truly lush! The moss is so inviting and the lichen colonies are quite healthy. I love the various greens and the textures. It's all so strokable, at least visually (I tend not to touch moss and lichen for fear of doing damage.) This is such a wealth of textures and lichen-ness. Stunning. I love the idea of plants in winter coats too, and this one looks so fashion-forward and timeless all at once.
