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.

They are smart looking vases, you shouldn't have mentioned the dust, people will be looking now :o)
alanwilliams

This vase looks like it should be growing under a tropical sea. All busy homes have dust Andrea and I see you have plenty!! Lol.

What an odd vase. Wonderful color it has :)

You can write your name in the dust in my room. I live by a quote from Quentin Crisp "After the first few years, the dust doesn't get any thicker" Or words to that affect. Nice zany vase!

I like the selective effect particularly in this one Andrea!

Very cool looking vase

Ooh! I've seen life forms like these...they exude their own super-strong adhesive and often change their sex, depending on temperature and time of year. It's so nice to see a glass one that's actually a vase, rather than a semi-hermaphroditic, biologically complex...um...slug. The colors are wonderfully brilliant and the perfect antidote to a Chicago-winter day! OH, and by the way, dust is always interesting. I always think of it has history settling onto something, and as I'm not necessarily into erasing history, I tend to leave dust where it collects, unless it becomes absolutely necessary to remove it, but that's just me.

LOVE this! When I first saw it in thumbnail, I thought it was two Jim Henson characters talking to each other about something typically Jim Henson-y. As a vase though, this TOTALLY rocks! I want one!! Great shot!

I would just say it's pollen on that exotic glass flower ;} Lovely shot!

Those arcane yellow vases really pop out against the dark background. And I do see the dust, which kind of reminds me of my place.

Our American comedian Joan Rivers had the proper attitude toward house cleaning. She asks, "Why clean the house when you are only going to have to do it again in six months." Sound advice, don't you think? Love the happy yellow and the reflection makes it look like a double vase. The shape reminds me of an invertebrate sea creature.

Wow---just gorgeous!!

That's not dust, it's radioactive fallout causing your nice flower to grow absurdly then solidify!

The vase could feature in a sci-fi movie! Clasped around the face of anyone who got too close! Wonderfully organic it doesn't need any flowers at all!

This really is so very cute, and great too, Andrea. I have to think of a snake with black eyes.

Unusual vase don't worry about the dust it only shows if you move the vase.
danapommet
This yellow 'flower' blooms in both directions and I like the POV!
ia-du-lin
cool organic forms

Love the vase! It makes me think about what I might put in it. Lilacs might be strong enough, but astilbe might be fun!
