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!
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!
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 fascinating shot; I love how the reality shifts into 2D and back again in the most unexpected ways... well done!

I remember that place, it did look out of place, who ever heard of a hacienda in Bournemouth? LOL! Be a great idea to follow the development as it grows on a tizzy?

Alone from night to night you'll find me, too weak to break the chains that bind me... A superfluous surfeit of chain most apparent in this splendid macro, Andrea.

Ray Charles' version of "Unchain My Heart" came to mind as number 30 padlock popped up on my screen. That is a lot of chain for that little bit of security requirements!

I suppose a very silly thief would cut four links to get in there. :P

"Chains! My baby's got me locked up in chains." (Beatles version) I agree, that's a lot of chain. A good pair of bolt cutters would take care of it. I used to appraise new buildings and it is amazing how many nicely designed houses are screwed up by the finishing.

Someone's got shares in a chain making company, I wonder If you can lift the gates off at the hinges.
