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.

Stunning capture Andrea. God Bless.

Marvelous capture of this antique. The lichen adds a layer of texture that makes this even more interesting.

Great Scott, with that rust and green lichen effect I though this was the upper trunk of a tree at first! With nothing in the pic to compare it to sizewise, the wheel looks massive.

Amazing! I like the details and the lichens (at least two breeds?) are really appealing and they cause a great contrast to the color of the mill wheel. The shapes are so wonderful and inviting, except, perhaps, when the wheel is turning. This is brilliant.

It is lovely how the lichen softens the metal and gives it a great effect with the rust.

Wonderful colors and textures.

There's very little that's better than metal going back to its component parts! This is marvellous.

I wouldn't have guessed that lichen would attach to rust.
