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.

Ah that famous yellow door, love it!...I too would have waited, I hate getting rained on, it's sometimes so cold that it shocks you.

Looks like Dickensian times. We have had a few downpours lately.

Fantastic postwork by Mother Nature and there is no way I would have gotten out of the car after looking at the FlickR version.

I love your door! What colors. What a nice rain-distortion. I bet you there's nothing as nice in Holland Park! The sense of color here is brilliant! I love the shimmer and the sense that this is a layered image. I've been on this layering kick lately, and this strikes me as one of those sorts of images, because there's the image itself, and then there's a little something extra: it's a protean thing, slippery and impossible to define, and yet it's there. How marvelous! And what a scene. Too bad you were trapped for 10 minutes, but look what you got out of it. Marvelous! This is fantastic.

You are the only person I know who could take a near disaster and turn it into a successful art piece. Outstanding work.

I do love your yellow door! It's lovely seen through the layer of rain on your windows. Great use of your trapped time!

Great spontaneous shot, I had a moment like this last week, just a shirt on and a short distance but with the heavy rain it might just have been miles away.

A quick downpour can be refreshing and cleansing.I like the distorted view of the doorway.
