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 found the heron! :) For some reason, when Wally came to America, he changed his name to Waldo. One of life's little mysteries. Love the reflections! This is a beautiful spot.

A little bleak but still beautiful. And is that a bird's nest inthe tree on the right? Found the heron, he doesn't look incidental.

Looks a great place to walk and I spotted the Heron no trouble, Mine are back on the field after disappearing for the summer.

Herons are like that, they try to insert themselves into many different landscapes and dare us to find them! Wonderful shot of the Stour, I remember it well!

Quite a contrast between the arid desiccated flora around the river bank and the river, A.

Zooming in the Heron could not hide from me, LOL! A beautiful image, i love the trees. There is something about winter trees with their bones exposed that is just so beautiful. I love the subdued and muted colors of winter, anyway.

This looks so lovely with all the reflections in the river :-)

What a gorgeous nature shot Andrea. The colors,lighting and reflections are so crisp and beautiful. Found the nest first,then the little guy standing so still along the bank.
