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.

Frozen in mid air raindrops - summer, frozen pond - winter! Great capture! It's so nice to be warm and dry, inside with your camera sometimes isn't it?

We had a downpour here night before last, and it's still cloudy and gray. After several days of hot sunshine, it was a welcome interlude! We're in for more sunny days starting tomorrow, I think. This is a terrific shot of how it feels when it's raining!

Seeing the individual drops of rain was an outstanding capture. An excellent photo!

So that's what rain looks like. Nice shot but your flickr image gives a whole new meaning to "watercolor".

Lovely shot; we have had rain two nights in a row, heavy; but days are grey and threatening. My kind of weather!

Looks just like Czech Spring, only in English! I love this kind of weather; it's not so great for arthropod-observation, but one can't have everything. I love those individual droplets. They're like little worlds, or the raw versions of those lovely bottles you're in the habit of photographing. This is stunning...I love the pattern the water makes and I can imagine that particular, very special sound! This is fantastic. There's some digifiddling done here too: I recognize the light, deft touch, which also makes me imagine that this is something I'd expect to see in an antique tome: one of those really ancient books like On the Anatomies of Clouds, Wafts and Vapours: the definitive 14th century meteorological "anatomy", which also happens to contain splendid illuminated pages. Yeah. This is good stuff!
