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.

Wonderful! I love seeing lichens, and these seem quite happy. I do hope they don't decide to repaint!

G'laud, get a load of that lichen, girding itself around the side of the lamp post, which appears somewhat similar in construction to the conning tower of a submarine.

They probably thought the lamppost just needed a bit of decoration. Mission accomplished. Much more interesting this way. A lovely find.

Now that is a GREAT find, my favourite of the lichens! What a beautiful collar this post has acquired!

That's a real super collection in your lamppost garden.

What a beautiful display! Mother Nature has the ability to decorate even the lowliest and ugliest of modern man made things!

An excellent zoom and I like the peeling paint over on FlickR!
