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 the image Andrea - love Helanker's comment regarding translating your narrative and I can only image how sparrow fart came out - but then again, I wonder how many across the pond, other than me, understand the phrase in the first place? As a OBTW I posted something for you and Sandra

Sparrow fart? Are they serious? How droll. Now that I think of it, could that be the cause of global climate change? I know that cows contribute heavily to that problem. Anyway, you have created a photo of alternate universe dimensions in this most unique snap, Andrea, which reminds me of my dreams.

Excellent my friend and I assume that you knitted the hat and sweater. Very colorful!!!

Great idea, this proves there is always an opportunity, good to keep the camera with you. Hope you are feeling better now, I know what it can be like, we hibernate through the winter and then come spring the garden starts growing again and out comes the mower and hours out the garden, then the next day we feel it, rather like one has been on a stretching rack for five hours.

Oh, my! And here I thought one of your doodles had come to life. Quite surreal in its way. I trust you have recovered from your odyssey around the gardens.

Great ida and shot. Well done

Well, you have digi-fiddled yourself into oblivion, but you really must tell us what "sparrow-fart" really means!

LOL! But what a great result, maybe you should be stuck waiting for a ride more often?

I tend to call it Oh-Dark-Thirty, but I might change my ways and go with Sparrow Fart. SO descriptive! :) I love what the reflection and your postwork did for your face, your hat, and your beautiful sweater. A delightful image!
