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.

The river is so vibrant! It must have a lot of vegetation in there to give that rich hue. A beautiful capture for bird and setting!

Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.

It is beautiful with those greens and blues; the water seems to be moving very quickly, which has to make it tougher for the heron, don't they usually fish in calmer waters?

Love the vegetation as Kevin points out, must be prolific, lot of fry in there for this Heron to pick off :)

I'm with you on the colors. Lovely blues and greens, and the reflections are particularly arresting!

Delightful photo - love the colors in the water - beautiful lush background. We have so many lakes and swamps down here that we never see herons of egrets in running water!
