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!
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!
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 agree with Tara, a nice touching moment, and look at her poor hands all gnarled by Arthritis :( I like the painterly feel to this one Andrea, nice digifiddle.

EXCELLENT IMAGE

I think detail (without the filter) showing the wisdom and years in her hands would have made this.

Our Mother's Day is next week. A perfect image for it.

Poignancy brought to the highest level in this remarkable macro, Andrea. And what was blinkings' comment all about?

Hands are so graceful, especially as they age! I love Rita's red nails too! This is quite a lovely and very human shot! I love studies like these!

This was a hard one for me to study this wonderful photo Andrea – My Mom’s hands at the end – gorgeous tight camellia bloom over on FlickR.
