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.

taking their photos must have been a moving experience - no bull about it! Great capture Andrea

What marvels! Aside from their perfectly familiar, almost mundane presence in our world, there's still something in bovines that makes me think of their prehistoric ancestors...it's funny that they didn't look that different. As for this shot, it's a great one: animals have such dignity, even when/if they're destined for the dinner plate. Humans, I think, can learn something from that.

They are a nice looking animal.

Really outstanding capture of this big lil' guy, my Friend! He looks so calm as he stands here, just the perfect model! :) I think your image is a powerful enough deterrence to stop eating them....

They are impressive and very photogenic, I can imagine they enjoy the freedom of grazing around there.

What a life! Wander around, scratch a bit, eat, eat some more, wander around and have a nap. And flirt with passing ladies! Nice!

I sure hope Southwark council never have this idea, They'd charge us a fortune in council tax where they keep losing them, they loose paperwork/correspondence like they are wiping there ass with it, waste of skin and bone that lot!. Terrific pic.

Lovely docile animals, at least you don't have to steer clear of them ! They look to be doing very well on what they're eating and I bet they taste good too !! This is a super shot Andrea.

It's good to be gainfully employed and be appreciated for your work. And to have your picture published! Life is good. :)

They look like brahma cattle and very casual with you there. If they are brahma - the bulls are very aggressive!

Such great to see this beautiful capture, Andrea. At first I thought you had made a trip to the Far East, or to Kenya.
