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.

A strange but interesting fungi, excellently captured! When I tip my head to the left, I see the exasperated face of a puffer fish?

What an intriguing life form! I love the shape, and the way the light plays on its surface.

What an interesting beast.

What, pray tell, is that supposed to represent? It looks predatory. Possibly a nozzle, or a fungi of some sort? I wouldn't be surprised due to the vast variety of sizes, colors and shapes within the genre. Anyway, sterling focus and light in this pic of the thing, A.

Very interesting. Looks like a one-eyed face with its mouth open. Nice birthday dedication for Mike.

Someone blew out the wall in that one! Great find, and probably there will be more of them in the next cycle!

This really is a splendid gift for Mike, Andrea. In this way, you are encouraging Mike to fantasize about the inhabitants of this magical mushroom, from which also may come out all sorts of fumes, to sedate the possibly strange creatures in the forest. :)
