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.

Brilliant pic.

Gosh Andrea, what a superb pic. The repeating of the color blue and pink are just great in this compo. It's a very good observing eye you have for this. And the lady: hehehe, this lady is literally great at all. Did you make a chat with her, and do you know if she solved the puzzle, by any chance?

Cool picture!!!!!!

Wonderful composition in this slice of life. The blue and pink in the background mirrored in her scooter and chair is a nice bonus.

Amazed how she got everything on her invalid car :o)

Doing the crosswords, eh? Nice park photo, Andrea, but, actually, I need to know whether that is a man or a woman before I can offer any meaningful comment on this pic.

Harry has a point here - is this a random man or a random woman. I think that 12 down is scooter!

Nice shot! And it is obviously a woman! I'm kind of hoping when I get to this there will be a scooter made more like a Jeep, with four wheel drive and serious climbing ability...then I can do my puzzles somewhere with a better view.

She looks quite comfortable there. What a great shot :-)

I love these character captures, nicely done and so natural, the lady has it well organized there, with motorized buggy and collapsible chair. Nice one.

As prevalent as these seem to be in England, it's rare to see them here, at least where I am. They do have them for use in all the shops for people who need them, but none on the streets. Maybe there's a law? At any rate, superb random portrait of this bountiful lady and her puzzle!

All I can say is don't get in the way of these things some of the drivers are lethal.
