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.

That's how I feel after the heat...I wish autumn was here, but we're expecting heat here for the next week or two. I hate it! But this is lovely...

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Outstanding colors, textures, dappled lighting effects and contrast in this harbinger of autumn, A.

Such beauty in a dying leaf. The colors and patterns are wonderful.

Just two days ago I was seeing the same thing at Elk Island and wondering if we are into an earlier than normal winter. Then today I see the Bison are in their rut, also a bit early...and here I am, just getting started into summer mode. Again, that German adage enters my mind, "Too soon Oldt, too late Schmart!" Or, on your side of the pond, "Too soon Oldt, too late Schmart"!

Natures own abstract, can we ever compete, I hold both hands up and surrender (chuckle), maybe working in partnership with nature is one way like Andy Goldsworthy
