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.

I love ice shots like this! But what are you planning to do with those leaves? I know it will be something creative. It's just the first time in my life that I've heard of someone fishing out the lily leaves from a frozen pond, LOL!

Beautiful capture of this light film of ice. Our rivers here are froze solid now and won't have break up until April.

This is beautiful. I love the patterns of the ice. We may get our first freeze tonight. If so it will just barely get there. We haven't even had much jacket weather. I bring my jacket with me just to boast my moral, but I've rarely had to wear it.
