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 rare collage by Andrea, with a cool medieval ambience. But how come no postwork? And did they serve coffee, chips, consumme and crumpets at the Corfe Castle?

The good thing about all the rain is that everything is lush and green. Love these castle ruins.

Oh dear. You'd never get me out of a place like that! I'd be photographing every four-square-inch patch in the place, and wondering about the people who built it and who lived in it and the last ones and the process of turning into a ruin ... Lovely! :)

Beautiful place - I always like such ruins. There's always magic of forgotten times in the air.

Two wonderful POVs of Corfe Castle. A beautiful path and both view of the ruins are lovely!
