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.

Haaaa... this gave me a laugh! Are the heads "donated" too? Nice photo. The thumb nail suggested a photo of the real thing, which is why I looked. Keep up the good work! :-)

The royals in hand-me-downs? OMG... and the Queen is presiding over the punch bowl, I see; I guess she had to since Charles looks like he emptied the bowl! LOL, what a hoot!

Stunning to see, Andrea. Thank you for sharing those English 'high lights'! btw, It's really true, every time I see 'your queen' on T.V. I see the lookalike : my mother! As two drops of water, such the same look and attitude. Really chocking :P

It looks to be quite a posh affair.

a riotous capture, with so much detail against those cutout royals. It has some of the brilliance of your still lifes, but of course you can't control the elements so you do the best you can with what you're given. It still beams. And your angle lines-up the red of the queen with the roses, the funny hat above them, and the "Jubilee Tea Party" above them. Fine seeing. I guess when you get to the point in life where you're displayed in windows in cutout, you've freakin' made it. A ton of fun. Eps for us state-siders who don't quite understand the queen. (Hell, we got congress. That's comedy enough for the whole world!)

This is just too perfect! Even the royals look as if they might be recycled! Someone was just too clever for words to make this happen so marvelously!
