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.

Gudlawd, what a closeup of the erstwhile reptile, Andrea! Textures, high contrast and tortuous patterns to die for in this awesome shot.

The eye is perfectly placed! Western Red Cedar driftwood is quite common on our beaches, and this looks like a little piece of home!

Definitely a dinosaur. The patterns on the wood are fantastic.

I see something reptilian, but also marvelously mammalian; what a great piece of art!

Don't walk the the garden after midnight that's when they come to life.

It looks like an old dinosaur carving and a super idea to add the eye! The FlickR side looks like the throat of a baleen whale! Two great captures Andrea!
