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!
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!
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.

Red sky at night, sailor's delight. So, did you have good weather the next day? Two stunning pictures. I love barbeques, or roasts as you call them. I usually eat like a pig.

Very impressive sunset shots

A hog's roast? Sounds so Middle Ages. Peasants and wenches, et al. And do you think it is fair in the overall scheme of things that you get rain, gales, and changeable weather in Bournemouth, whereas all we get where I live is nothing but mostly clear skies, a warm 80-degree Fahrenheit sun, and no precipitation, day after day, i.e., a perpetual drought?! Actually, we did get some dew a few mornings ago. I wonder if we should be thankful for that. Anyway, beautiful color, contrast and lighting in this stunning sunset shot, A.

I love this golden sunset but also the bright red colors over on FlickR!

I love these sky colors. The pale blues and peaches, lavenders and pinks, the impossibility of determining where one begins and another ends, makes this just gorgeous.

Fantastic colors, these are best to me! I like the idea of a hog roast and grog and wenches...I just can't remember why!
