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.

What a vibrant orange, if I'm not mistaken this is edible! but is seldom eaten because there are others that look a bit similar and those one's are highly poisonous. Fungus can be a minefield and you MUST use an expert before eating them. Great capture. I hope things work out for the new doggie... so many out there needing a loving home and you get so much back unconditionally, there is a space, getting a new dog is not replacing Buster but maybe giving a dog some hope to be part of the family as you did for so many years with Buster.. hope things work out for all concerned

Looks good enough to eat!

Lovely blended orangy effects, among other things, in this fine foto. I hope your next dog is as cool as Buster was.

And in day glow color as a bonus. A wonderful capture. It looks like an abstract piece of art.
