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.

A fascinating natural pattern!

Great capture Andrea. Nature creates her own fractal images all over and frozen ponds as well as frost on the windows are excellent examples.

I haven't seen so many angles since I last struggled through geometry and trigonometry, which were even worse for me than Latin!

Wonderful texture, contrast and right triangles galore in this super stunner of a frozen pond pic, Andrea! With very boring warm temperatures here, our winter hasn't begun yet.

Seriously? This is a brilliant abstract! It could work as a painting, etching or sculpture. It also works really well as a photograph of course. Me like.
