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.

Lol, I got quite unladylike just this morning dealing with a "tech" about my printer. Where do they get these guys??? Good luck with the tree---and the idiots you have to talk to. They're SO irritating!! BTW--LOVE the color and the post work you did!!

Fabulous splash of much needed color! Nothing but gray days here. It's warmed up a lot, so the snow is all gone, lots of mud, rain, and dismal gray overcast! Glad the tree will come down, legally, and not on it's own. Also glad you've an agent to get you through all the mounds of paperwork so you don't have to lose your lady-like demeanor, grins.

Wonderful photo and postwork I wish you the best

Outstanding and deceptive postwork on what I first thought was a rolled up velvet blanket, Andrea. And the best of luck on your tree crisis. 6 to 8 weeks of red tape is most unpropitious.

Can't imagine having to go through so much to have a tree cut down.

I only hope it DOES fall before they get around to granting you permission to bring it down. Then THEY will be liable! This is beautiful, this red digifiddle!

lol. hope he can brace the tree up with lumber to make sure it will not fall down

It's called bureaucracy or red tape, so typical ... actually Western Red Cedar is beautiful wood to work with, we have a guestroom, and covered the walls with it - it looks Ab-Fab, just like this Rose! BB

What part of a) It could fall over at any moment b) It could destroy my neighbor's garage c) It could damage my property d) It could kill or injure a human being do they not understand? Always remember dear Andrea, no matter how much the idiots outnumber you, they are still the idiots. Gorgeous flower and fiddle, BTW. (that was what we were talking about, wasn't it?)

Another pleasing fiddle!

Life is bit complicated at times, Andrea. Think if the same procedure should be necessary for every photoshot or render upload!! :o[ Fine photomanip, Andrea!! :o)

GEES! You have to deal with jerks, I see. I do hope they will rush so you can get this done before anything happens. Wonderful rose, Just what I needed for this MOUSE-GREY DAY. :)

LOL patience is a virtue Andrea. Looks like you took some of your frustration out doing this wonderful work. What a beautiful addition to your gallery..

Beautiful color and postwork. Is it possible to trim some branches to take some of the weight off the leaning side. After all it is a safety issue!

There's nothing gray about this shot. It's just like the council to make more work out of something simple, tell them if it does come down you hold them responsible, It might speed things up.
