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.

That is a very cool sculpture. I love the blue colouring to it. Wonderful capture. I'm curious about what in your past would cause an uneasy feeling around wicker.

I love public art! Nicely captured with the backlighting.

This looks quite good. The other shot is superb.

Nice hairdo on this. I love the blue colored glass and the light filtered through it. I assume the title refers to a shop that sells Murano in town. The closeup is even better. I especially like the distorted reflection.

Bad hair day for Murano, if this keen kapture is any indication, A. I really like the backlighting effects.

Fascinating and beautiful artwork.

It is rather "medusa-esque", love the way you captured that wonderful blue colour. : )

Ah, the world of Jules Verne, that explains the sculpture ... and not to forget it's BLUE glass ;) we could almost have a competition between our two continents with exhibitions of sculptures - that could be a very healthy and very interesting cultural exchange ... BB

GREAT! I really love how you took this special photo, Andrea.

What an enchanting photograph. When I first saw it (sans explanation) I thought two things, almost simultaneously. The first thing I thought was: Oh, she's found Medusa's perfume bottle!. My second thought was actually more of an impression centered on a rather blue alien dignitary with rather...um...serpentine head-bits. I kinda like that! I really love this image and it's something I'd love to see in person.

The blue color is so beautiful. Lovely jellyfish and reflection in the FlickR version!
