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.

Great scene Andrea. We have lots of swans that call our local beach home. They frolic about in the waves and love it! They are all jet black though.

What a lovely shot.. this MUST be seen in zoom view, a beautiful scene, looking at the water and the vegetation this is a course fisherman's dream, and for many years stretches of this river certainly has seen some fine catches on record....fine roach if I remember from childhood. Well done.

A lovely shot of this seasonal view.

I can't decide which image I like better. Such beautiful serenity. I like the wall of reeds. Hopefully it will keep the riff-raff away from the birds.

Ideal scene I imagine some poets sitting on the band discussing the newest works from Byron as these swan float by
