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.

Ah! I see, was expecting a hungry feline in pursuit of a gull :)

An interesting capture, it so looks like the gull is sitting on a lampshade, we have one of those here at our seafront, better safe than sorry.

A beautiful picture and composition, the tide break leads the eye right to the catamaran

Very lovely and very peaceful. Could have been taken today here, as we had no wind all day and wonderful sunshine :)

Oh my. Both are wonderful. I love the classic composition of this one with the cat in just the "right" place, but the light and movement and pure joy of the other one is brilliant! Looks like you had a great day at the beach. (Is there another kind?)

Most satisfying. The object the gull is sitting on up high...reminds me of a living room floor lamp. Suppose it is a sign.

A lovely image and a perfect illustration of the 'pecking order'. The king sits on his lampshade while his subjects must be content with perches closer to the water.

Sharp and simple in a most elegant way, Andrea.
