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.

Awesome fungus, Andrea. Reminds me of these dried Pork ears we gave the dog :)

Oh my, magnificent fungus! The flickr one really looks like an ear .. perhaps it IS an ear, left behind by some absent minded Alien!

I know one or two who have ears like that, especially in this cold weather (chuckle)... nice captures. I think this is sometimes used in recipe's more for it's texture than it's flavour but as always it's best avoided if you get reactions to these things... many have to be cooked thoroughly or it's an hospital visit.. or at the very least a day in the toilet.

A richly detailed study of a curious little fungi. A huge tonal range captured by your camera too!
Celart
Wow, what a soft and crispy sharpness on your find. Excellent shot

Wonderful mushroom :)

If one stares at the fungi long enough, visions of a mask in torment comes to the fore in the stellar pic, A.
