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.

so much of interest here Andrea, the more you look the more you see, it works so well as a whole and as individual pockets within it.

Sterling shot of the pond amidst the mass of dormant flora, A. Reminds me so much of the El Dorado Nature Center in Long Beach, California.

A lovely capture of this beautiful place but what a shame that the dogs can't go into the water. I can see that it is a great place for insect life and birds.

A gorgeous scene Andrea!

My first thought was "Where the Wild Things Are". A beautiful scene. I particularly like the trees with their wild branches spread everywhere. Reminds me of my hair...when I had it.
