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!
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!
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.

Amazing what takes place over a long period of time, it's natures own abstract on a man-made surface, it is indeed a mini world.

Doesn't this look like a 3D map of some place or other? the blues being water of course. Lichens are just the most amazing and beautiful things .. along with mosses Oh I know, it's horrid that those cute little manuals no longer come with the item bought! I hate going on line and downloading a manual, and hate even more that I have to access an electronic thing to read the manual, unless I want to print out a thousand pages. Sigh. Your new Tizzy is doing a marvelous job of shooting pics, close or far!!

Looks as if the macro works great. And as for those books do you mean the ones with 3 pages in English and 500 it every other language including Martian.

Great crop of Lichens Andrea. Our "cute little books" are not so little because that come in 15 different languages.
