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.

It is fascinating, especially when the person doing them decides on a liquid lunch before getting back to work. Wonderfully captured there, it's a whole new art. Nice capture.

Very cool capture Andrea it is amazing that some people cannot stay within the lines when required to - but then we wouldn't have some of the cool art like this to oooh and awww over.

There is always someone who has to drive on the lines before they are dry!!!!

Very nice capture of what looks like a desert pictograph. Must have driven across the yellow strip before the paint had dried.

A cool abstract. If it could be preserved, I could imagine future archaeologists pondering it's significance...

Your fascination is understandable. This makes a wonderful abstract.

It must be the start of a new branch of anthropology, the history of tyre tracks...you'll be known as the mother of the science!

A nice random pattern and it looks like they drove over it before it dried!

anyone who's seen your abstracts, and abstract-ifications of realistic images can understand your fascination with these tracks. It's a minimal shot, but full of activity, from the dark stony segments of the black portion, to the indentations, shadows and detritus of the yellow line. Also, you have the bottom part of the track "taken over" by the black beneath it---as if the black stuff were growing into the yellow, like vines. Love that. Another of your studies of the patterns of nature and human structures. Real truth in these shots, if I can use that word; in that they're genuine studies as well as pure art.
