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 rusty padlock, unfortunately such an experience is symptomatic of out of control immigration policies with EU membership and desperate people who might simple just be as poor in their own country than being poor and desperate over here.. sometimes illegally so, with the conflicts of acceptable culture it can bring. Nice shot.

Much clarity, color, contrast and history in this superb shot, Andrea. I wonder what happened to the illegal entrants sleeping in the beach hut. Hopefully deported.

And here I thought they had finally locked up the lawn! As for your neighbor, perhaps she should start charging rent. If her tenants are on the dole this could be a way to get back some of her taxes from the government. Nice capture, btw.

Not a pleasant surprise at all! Hope it ended well for her.

Are you sure It's not been blown off by the wind.

I like your photo and it's clarity - the illegal immigration problem is world wide. If governments hand out money to everybody who asks for it - more will come just for the free benefits. When my grandfather came to the America - he had to have a sponsor, a place to live, a job and speak English. He was able to send for my grandmother 14 months later. Sorry for the outburst!!!

mixed feelings, great find!!

Great shot, Andrea! Homeless people are a problem all over the World - the primary reasson is the extreme and uneven wealth in the World. F.x. 85 persons own the same as the poorest half of the World!...
