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.

Various shapes and textures abound in this cool shot of the ubiquitous lichen, Andrea, apparently occupying all nooks and crannies. I'm surprised that the Old Rectory was allowed to fall under such disrepair, but that's another issue.

Like offering your goods on Supermarket shelves, just take your pick ... not edible though ;( some shapes look almost like coral, nature is beautiful ! BB

A must zoom not only to check out the different lichens but also the patterns in the aging wood!

like your other lichen closeups, very exotic and a total surprise. It actually looks like lichens on a shelf in a store. Or lichens coming out of a shed, to air in the sun. Or to chat. You always get lots of variety in these shots, and the contrast of these creatures against the broken and decayed wood is beautiful. It's like a visit from a lichen apartment complex, where everyone has come onto their balconies to check out the city below, A gregarious capture with amazing variety right under our noses. Andrea I have to stop for now, but I'll be back another time before I leave. It's always a pleasure...always. This is a beautiful capture.
