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!
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!
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.

Stunning result Andrea. Awesome capture of yourself and wall in this mirror image. Fantastic reflections returning from the small mirror on the wall too. Great work as always.

well of course I had to google quiff .. I thought perhaps it would be the same as coiffe .. and in a way it is, though more specific. I think your gallery should be named 'Gallery of Higher Learning' or some such, I always seem to learn something here! Two things came to mind when I saw this .. Framed, and Mirror Mirror .. grins! in any case, it's beautiful self portrait, and you have done an excellent job with the watercolor filter!
