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.

Very interesting work Andrea, I bet he protects the greenhouse!... what's he made from?.. plaster or papier-mâché?. Looks like he may have a touch of gout. :-)

Did you find him in the Mekon Delta :) I don't recall this in 09, is it a more recent addition? However it is, I like it.

I always wondered what happened to the alien from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". Striking post work but the second image is somewhat melancholy, as if she has been abandoned.

I'm skipping around, I want to get a variety. This one was a knockout the minute it went up. First, the flickr photo is wonderful, for the dark brooding tones, and the feeling of a sculpture that's emptied out and has nothing more to give. I really like the sculpture itself too, it's wan look and isolated feel. (I don't know if it was intended that way at first, I'm only responding to how it looks in its decayed state. I'd love to see it in better light.) And it seems so resigned in that setting---I really like the photo. BUT! (Yes that was a loud "but".) THIS version is an archaeological find from the 15th C BCE. Like an ancient god or goddess. And one that, with the centuries, has transformed into a hollow but very powerful presence. Almost a mummy. It's a terrific job, Andrea, all colonized and taken over by the small metropolitan areas of mold and other microorganisms that inhabit everything sooner or later. And your crop makes the face and the tilt into the vacant stare of a god of warning. Lots of grays and some brown and even light violet tones here---it's terrific. You did a terrific job with this: You gave your sculpture a life that it might have required another 100 years to achieve. Bravo!

How long have you kept this Martian as a prisoner??? He looks a bit crusty! I like the FlickR version!
