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.

Have you checked to see if there is a Cambodia temple underneath? Terrific image, you've really captured its strength.

This makes me think of a cat digging its claws into a carpet or something with amazing grip!

Somebody told that tree, "Get a grip." :)

Stunning capture Andrea. God Bless.

A stubborn attitude displayed by this arboreal giant, Andrea. Cool textures, and the roots look like hands plunged into the soil.

Great shot , Andrea !

The FlickR version is very funny! This tree is not going anywhere with that death grip on the ground. I like this - a very nice find and share.
Glendaw
Awesome shot of those deep roots. Outstanding textures and forms.
Katraz
That's some root system, and that's a hopeful little chap in between the roots.
emmecielle
