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.

In the Alps of Switzerland they put bells on the livestock...thank goodness...I would have been mowed over because I did not see the goats...but I heard them. :)

Cool capture! We have people who rent their herd of goats to clear out an area of brambles and other stuff that's too hard to remove otherwise seems that brambles don't bother them at all

OMG are they wild goats or do they belong to someone knowing me i would baby all of them lol.

This is a arduous way how they must seek their food but goats are good climbers. Superb capture, I like the colorful huts.

You aren't kidding - they are hard to see unless they are acting the goat. I like the beach huts.

I like this image a lot. It shows the peace and nature that can be slotted(albeit briefly) into this wicked world.

How lovely to see them!!

I was going to tell you about Rent-A-Goat, but Mike beat me to it. It's a going business in Western Washington! This bunch looks more interested in napping than working, but I certainly can't fault them for that! :)

Two great captures, they will eat most things.. we have them up here too, if you visit Valley of Rocks at Lynton you will see many goats, been there for years... unfortunately the locals all seem to be happy to cull (kill) half of them because they have been getting into peoples gardens and eating flowers and vegetables..... because of a bad winter they have also been coming into the town. They have a contraception program going which needs more time rather than killing half the poor animals... disgusting... but some people like to advocate "Getting rid of" when it cuts into their little worlds and they don't like it.. especially council backed too. :-(

I was checking out the beach huts before I noticed the goat mowers. Nasty horns in the FlickR photo.

I'm guessing they are wild .. or domestics that have gone wild. Do they do anything to control over population? A really cool shot Andrea, love the colors of the beach houses. The flickr one is a wonderful capture, too.
