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.

Love the old clinker bricks.

By the looks of it, no wonder you were baffled by the usually placid Bourne Stream, as it unleashed its ferocity on Coy Pond, A.
angora

Great capture Andrea, looks like white water rapids, seems all rivers and streams are full at the moment.

The bottom baffle is almost being overflowed by the rushing water. I have seen these out of poured concrete but never brick. Maybe this is hundreds of years old. I like the rough water passing down the troth!

Unusual material for such a demanding job, usually reinforced concrete is deployed. The brick layers can fracture and the bond cement erode! Its an exciting shot though!

Great idea but I bet the water will get the better of It one day, two of the villages I drive through were flooded the other day fortunately mostly in the road. While waiting my turn to go through a deep bit I got my camera out to take some pictures, FLAT BATTERIES, that will teach me to charge it.

Awesome picture of wild water! Wonder if something like this would slow our creek down when there's furious rains, or rapid snow melts.
