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.

Love the colors and lighting

An awesome display of impenetrable foliage in this fine photo. A machete is definitely necessary to make any headway through that imposing thicket of brambles and such.

Three cheers for wetlands! Such a fascinating and beautiful environment.

The colorful myrtle sets off the rest of the photo - a lot of moss back in the trees!

Sounds like the title to a children's story. That's quite a tangled wood. A beautiful place.

What completely different photos (this and the flickr). This is all in-our-faces, a closeup of the tangle and messy opulence of all those branches and the undergrowth, and the collision of greens with browns with reds, etc. All tilted to one side, with the center trees offering outreaching branches. After seeing Bill's and Tara's shots of the Southeastern US swamplands, this feels oddly similar to those areas, even though it's a totally different ecological world. But bogs do have something in common with those wetlands, right? A teeming sight, captured as if right on top of it, a front forward wave of sinew, trunk and hue. I'd heard of the heaths you have in that part of the world: One of the delights of your gallery is to actually see them. (Was this the kind of area King Lear stood on when he railed against the storm---the so-called "blasted heath"? If he did, I'd imagine he'd stop and mutter, "to hell with it, this place isn't so damned bad!") And btw: "The Wet Wood over the budding Bog Myrtle" sounds like the name of an Irish reel!!! Irish bands have basic reels, jigs, ballads, etc, but they give them names like "Finian Gladdigh's Misty River Shack's Two-Step," with spoken intros like "We learned this from Paddy's second cousin, from County Cork, who learned it from her neighbor's cow..." That's a great title---worth the price of the upload alone!)
