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.

Is this the fungus used in Chinese dishes such as hot and sour soup? It looks much like what I have seen sold in Asian markets. Nice job photographing this jewel. :)

It looks quite sinister from this angle with occult blood colouring. A bit bat like as well with a skin folded and roosting pose. Great find and capture!

Excellent detail on this very interesting fungus. Like most of us the level of attraction often depends upon the lighting. My favorite is still the image on flickr.

Excellent capture of this, the texture is fascinating, I heard they don't taste all that significant but are indeed used in some recipe's for their texture alone... I would give it a miss... I wouldn't mess with it.

Sterling macro of what appears to be a purplish velvet covered bloom of some arcane sort, A.

I like the backlit version because of the beautiful color but this version has a deep rich color of it's own!
