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.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

Excellent close-up and the other image shows how it could be possible with the wider angle to potentially get two or three shots out of it by cropping. Out of interest what resolution do you shoot in?

Full view is a revelation. Wonderful image!

Such a beautiful and clear shot of one of my fav subjects. :-)

Wonderful find! They found one of these trees at Juanita Bay and made a big deal of saving it and giving it space. Excellent shot!

Never heard of spindle trees, but you've captured the lichen beautifully & the DOF is excellent. And I agree with Tara - zooming is definitely worth it...

Nice shot and a great selection of lichen ,my spindle tree resides near a ditch and a biodisk not so exotic but it does have a nice dogs tooth violet under it.

I always like seeing your lichen images. You do them so well and, since Southern California is a semi-desert, I never get to see these little guys.

The clarity of the FlickeR version, from a few posts ago, is magnificent! This is also a beautiful capture!
