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.

I share your reluctance, even though i am a patient man, I would find this too fiddly to hold my attention.

I've never done it, but nothing made with thread is impossible, and none of it is boring! :) I love the bobbins. What a joy it must be to hold these in your hands and feel the smooth surfaces while a piece of lace takes place before you. sigh Wonderful!

Such humble articles, they are quite beautiful and could stand as art pieces on their own. Nice close up.

This should rank as one of the most unusual photos of the year!

Well spotted and taken shot of once vital cottage equipment! I saw a doily being made once on a huge cushion with dozens of these bobbins, such skill and concentration required!

An impressive collection and thank you for the FlickR version since they looked so much bigger in the RR version!
