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.

Oooooohh! I love it! (Both, actually!) When I clicked it open, I thought, "It's a quilt!" and then I read your note. :) This is marvelous. The overall hot-pink-ness of the thing delighted me first, and then I saw detail and shading and endless variation and got totally lost. Then ... the Flickr version started the process all over again! Thank you so much for this wonderful birthday gift, my friend. It's just the ticket! :)

This can be such fun to do, vibrant colours, could also be looking down on an abstract allotment patches or stacked boxes.

Farmland from the air? Decorative brickwork? A quilt you say? This would make an eye catching one. Happy Birthday, Tara!

Definitely lot's of different textures and illuminating colours in this quilt, and by the look of it - a very happy one ;)) the other one, the 'Flickr' version reminds me very much of some of 'Hubert's' creation or just a 'fractal quilt' ;P great present Andrea, BB

This really fits to Tara (and Bill), always on the road from one state to another. And what beautiful fantasy and colors, Andrea. Anyway, your gallery is 'the place to be'. Amazing what a fantastix mix with so much diversity.

Couldn't find it on Flickr, I'm too late :)

I'm just returning, and I'll be back soon for a longer session; but I want to do a few today because it's been too long! I saw the postworked version of this, and whoosh! An ocular knockout! Bursting and busting out, a real visual carnival...This however is also a carnival, and I love the idea that this is all the states Tara and Bill visited. An artist's representation. You got a lot of detail in each 'state', and some very painterly detail too. I love the variety from square to square; and in some of the squares you got the same kind of overlapping 'coastal lines' that you get in your edge-work with PS. I also love how you spill over into the borders between the rectangles, and how they drip down the sides, etc. Your DDDD pieces are a picnic, and the patterns are varied but also somehow in the same big family. joyous and a patchwork, a patchwork quilt. A terrific birthday upload.

A very cool collection of colors and doodles - an electric digifiddled version on FlickR!
