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.

Saying it in your caption is the only way to get the drop on Jeff! LOL! I love the ripples, like sound waves filling a room. Beautiful!

Oh, I love this! I love a good pun! Or a bad one. Did you know that the ancient Egyptian god, Thoth (that ibis-headed dude) was fond of puns? Who knew!? Anyway, that has nothing to do with this, but there you have it. I love a good knot. I love the texture and the sense of wood-waves in this image. The details are the whole point of this shot and what a shot it is. This is a marvel!

Ditto - what everyone has said before me and I like to add, there is a bit of Edvard Munch's most recognizable 'Scream' apparent there as well ... Bravo Andrea of your findings, BB

I like to see the textures and patterns that are created by the checking process in aging wood in natures elements!
