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.

Very nice! There are so many strange, almost alien, life forms in the world. Many are considered a nuisance or even disgusting, but a close look usually reveals unexpected beauty.

Very interesting I was unaware gourds grew mold, Andrea. Looks like a decaying snow-capped pumpkin. Or Mars during its winter?

Now I'm jealous. I can't grow anything on my top. Wonderful shapes and textures.

Wonderful, it's great what grows on things when they start to decay.

Fuzzy mold and I like the look of it on that gourd!

Very interesting, if the lower part was coloured dark brown maybe it could be mistaken for a home-made christmas pudding, although I think I might decline a slice in this case.
