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.

Love it! That glorious gold color makes the white ones look bleached. And yes ... tapestry ... it made me think of the needlepoint I'm doing.

An arras of epic proportions in this outstanding photo, Andrea. Being unfamiliar with most lichen, this impresses me as other worldly.

A nice selection of growth!

A smorgasbord of lichens. The yellow patch, what we call stag horn over here, the tiny cups and then the base background. A lovely capture Andrea!

I like this a lot! Wonderful colors, detail, and textures. I like the outlined bit (shaped a bit like of a map of Minnesota) with the cups. Those kind of lichens always make me think of a chorus of mouths belting out a song. Cool shot!
