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.

Quite beautiful, Andrea! stunning textures and colours. I adore the heart in the center of the 'vitral' and the brilliance that comes from outside. I am sure that Helle loves this a lot! Happy Birthday Helle:)) Have the most wonderful day with your beloved ones and many, many more to come:)

What a nice bit of glass this is! I like the design and the colors, and of course the way the light plays with it. A beautiful birthday dedi for Helle! :)

a beautiful dedi for our mutual dear friend; and, full size, this reveals some of your signature postwork (voila): It's subtle here, working its way through every pane, and it is beautiful. You've separated the colors into those little 'colonies', and they feel so independent and, well, articulate. (Also, the subject is good by itself.) And i just realized that the colors remind me of Helle's digital manipulations, with all her purples and reds and blues...a beautiful piece (and I just love that postwork you do, I eat it up). A perfect dedi for Helle. Happy Birthday, Helle! And many more!

I wish I could say about your friend, Helle, what the others have said, but not knowing her, I'll just have to say: wonderful lighting, composition and texture in this fine birthday dedication, A.

This is the window between the dining room and the studio over where I sit at the PC. It was an outdoor window once!

I remember that lovely window.

It is absolutely gorgeous, not to mention the wonderful postwork you added to it.
