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.

Those two would look great in the garden... maybe she's saying to him "Okay! maybe I do lead you a dogs life but no need to rub it in". :-)

Or maybe "Are you trying to make us end up in a punk household and sprayed pink!"

"I told you being a punk rocker was for the younger gen, but did you listen Noooooo!"

Or alternatively. "I told you the collar and chain were a bad idea. Now we will never be sold"

I don't mind the dragon but I don't like the dogs !!! I'm taking a chance here Andrea !

"I still preferred the pink one", love their expressions.
iceberg5
They both make a well matched couple !

No idea what they're saying Andrea, but they would fit very nicely in the Gothic part of my garden :)

Just look really angry and we wont be forced to stand outside in any kind of bad weather. Awesome shot, Andrea :-)

Very good capture! I told you to wear the other collar, the one with the big spikes on it. You know we're meeting the Leons tonight and they expect to see the spikes!

Just keep still...and perhaps they won't notice us! fantastic find.

"So here we sit waiting to be reclaimed, I thought you said we were to dine with the Queen this evening." A most interesting pair...just read the wiki about the griffin.

"Not her. She has no meat on her bones." "I don't care, I'm hungry!" A perfect pair for your garden.

I'm sure they're a matched set, but your pov makes the one with the collar look bigger. I love the way "she" (the smaller of the two) is looking at him. These are terrific! "Smile!" "I AM smiling!"

Such lovely people! I happen to adore mythical hybrid creatures and gryphons, dragons, and other assorted thingies always draw my attention, especially if they have beaks! What a pair these two are. Given time, I may decipher what they're saying, but as it takes a while to understand the subtleties of a beak-enhanced language, I'll have to listen carefully and then go rummaging through all of the language dictionaries I have. How sad that you can't get gryphonese on translate.google. Yet.

"You just HAVE to wear those cheap junk store things, don't you" I love these, I cannot believe they din't come home with you to guard your pond!! On the other hand, I bet they were quite pricey if they were large.

No conversation - just nasty looks! I would like to have the one with the collar in my back garden in Florida - he might keep the alligators, pythons and boa constrictors away! :o)
