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.

What a bizarre object! Craters on the moon almost. It qualifies for the photo challenge for sure!

An odd object. Definitely astronomical. One of Jupiter's moons perhaps?

The Gourdian Knot. Dots very, very nice! Excellent focus and overall lighting ambiance in this closeup, Andrea.

It looks like measles! What a wonderful find, even if it means it gets to hit the compost pile. Gorgeous shot!

In its' own way the gourd is more interesting with the dots from the fungus.

Perfect for the Flickr topic of the week! Will you let it continue to evolve and do a sort of Gourd Evolution diary?
