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.

Fine texture and focus in this pic of a fungus that is a stranger to these old eyes. Of course, fungi is just a myth where I reside.

You do find the most unusual things! Eagle-Eye Andrea!

I like all the ripples and ruffles, and the dark color is so striking!

This is a strange but beautiful looking fungi.

A very animated fungus - it almost looks like it could move away like a starfish!

That is well gone, I think it is often called Jelly Ear and is used sometimes in some specialist meals for texture and so forth, interesting capture, in this state it looks completely different.
