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.

What a great mood and title, Andrea. His shadow moves forward to what is to come, which you may rejoice. The taste of the shadow already in your mouth patience, patience, and then WOW the smell and fruits they can not hide and you are more than satisfied. :D

Wonderful shadow play on this. Gestating blackberries?

This is brilliant! I knew exactly what it was without help, and can tell what color the berries are from the size of the shadows. (Some flowers left, some already small green berries.) We have so many here that they must be part of my internal landscape. Fantastic photograph!

Nicely done! As Tara said, we're neck-deep in them around here. I have them sprouting up in my garden, even though there aren't any stands of them close enough to be responsible. I think the whole of the Pacific Northwest is one large mat of blackberries under the soil, and while they might be cut back in spots if left alone the whole area would soon be one big bramble!

I love blackberries! I love hot blackberry cobbler with just a bit of ice cream. The hot and cold together and the delicious blackberries, Of course, they are good right off the bush too. I joined the Ramblers' Association when I was in England, and I can remember one walk that went very slowly. The road was bordered by blackberry bushes that were full of berries. Beautiful capture! Wonderful light and shadows.
