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.

That is so nice I love the textures and the sheen almost looks like it is sticky :)

I had a totally other picture in my head, when I read the title :D Lovely hips indeed :)

I am not familiar with 'Daily Telegraph' (?) only as a newspaper ;P Do you mean Rosehip, but they are usually red ? and I do love the original Rosehiptea - yummy, with a teaspoonful of honey ... this looks like, as if the petals had fallen off and Autumn has well and truly set in ! (BTW I can't grow Roses here) but I do love the abstract look and colours, wet or well oiled - LOL BB

Wonderful with that sheen! You have no idea how much I'm vicariously enjoying your autumn.

I never realized that Rosehips had such wicked petals. It does look alien. That said, great ambience, color and composition in this pic of the rich source of Vitamin C, Andrea.

Nice shot, I seem to remember in the early 70's kids often dried these out and used them as itching powder.... all gone these days with chopper bikes, ker-knockers, playing marbles on the manhole covers and plastic trolls with coloured afro style hair. And the kid who often ended up sitting next to you with moth eaten wool jumper on who mastered the skill of blowing green bubbles from his nose before being sick outside the classroom hence the ever present pile of sand on the floor... and yes there was always diced carrots even if there was none with the school dinners. The joys of the 70's.. strikes, three day week, power cuts and loads of rubbish sacks piled six feet high on public grass areas... might happen again soon... same ole Tories.

I like the wet look and the shiny dark brown colors. An excellent find my friend!

A provocative title but, I suppose, the viewer was doomed to disappointment. I love the colors and the 'evil eye' POV.

Just for a second I though you had been skinny dipping , love the shiny look.

Cool shot! Can you do anything with these hips? Here, our Wild Alberta Rose hips can make a good cup of tea and one hip has the equivalent of about three oranges for vitamin C content.

I like the way it looks so wet and carmelized lol.

Fantastic, Andrea, this looks superb, and just one of the items which I prefer to see, and make a recording of. You did great here, my friend :)
