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.

Wow, that made an impact!!!!!!

Blessing in disguise, one says here. Excellent and interesting collage.

Indeed it could have been far worse, especially if the tree had been closer to the house, still annoying damage for the owners with the current rain we have been getting, they will need to make that watertight as soon as possible.. ideally before the rains arrive again. Looks as if it's damaged tiles, under felt, felt on the flat loft extension and guttering. Most important nobody was killed or injured... should be a clear insurance claim. Great collage of shots and it is a lovely house too... all the houses along there are lovely... you are lucky to live there... looks nice without being isolated.

Nature's wrath well represented in this interesting montage, Andrea. A slight taste of tornado damage in middle America.
sandra46

Amazing capture Andrea, how remarkable that the damage was no worse and thank goodness nobody was injured. The storms here are horrendous and the weather forecasters predict more next week! hugs Jane xx

Glad no one was hurt; this is what worries me a bit in our house, we are surrounded by 8 or 9 200-ft Douglas firs and cedars, any of which could come down on our house (like the smaller two that came down on the powerlines across the street several weeks back). Guess I'll just have to keep praying that it doesn't happen!

I can imagine that there were some worried looks for a while. Now comes the infamous 'Blue Tarp' to protect the home until the repairs can be completed. Wonderful collage Andrea - and yes! I zoomed on the image!!!!
jocko500
it a strong built house.

It must have been an interesting process to watch.No they can get on with the repairs to the house.

This was a big one. I knew there would be some damage. I hope they close or cover that hole before the next rain or they are going to have a swimming pool in the attic.
whaleman
Wow, there was more damage than I thought, and yes, I am nosey too! That roof looks like it needed to be replaced anyway, so perhaps it is fortunate because the owners might get something from insurance if that was protected. Hope so!

Nice to know - fine collage you have put together, Andrea!! :o)

They should ask the community for money to fix this damage, as it was them who didnt let people cut the tree. :-) Thanks for the great shots. They were lucky after all.

Wow! It could have been so very bad .. they were lucky people! Hopefully insurance will pay for the repairs.
