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.

A delightful find and capture - it looks like it has a rubbery texture!

Yes, in zoom it is a 3 part study, with the whitish rock on one side, and the pebbled rock on the other, with the lichen right in the middle. The lichen is like a colony of little convoluted worms---lichens are a constant source of indescribable forms and communities---which, hugging as a group, seem content where they are, but moving inexorably down the frame. Your shot frames them between the two 'worlds', and makes the colony seem like a big settlement in the "crook" between the two. A beautiful capture of the symmetry of nature, and of all its variety within. The top crevice (a canyon, to those lichen) is the right top-frame for the piece. Amazing presentation...
