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.

What a beautiful refection. I remember seeing Steve's (crabbycabby) picture of it being drained a while back.

I love this, Andrea! You are a great ambassador for Southern England. Every image makes me want to visit even more. I've been on a trip without benefit of the Internet which explains my silence. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes.

A beautiful park, must be wonderful to go there whenever you want. The image feels dark in many places, and private. Solace and introspection fills it. It's very inviting, and it feels intimate. The water breaks up the reflections like oil paint, and the sweep of the path---which is fall-brown-red---gives a gentle warm touch, as does the mother (I think) and child. Esp with their white and pink coats. (There's another couple way back there too. One with a bright blue jacket.) A kind of brooding cloudy day, but inviting one into it for a protected visit. A beautiful gift for one of our best uploaders (and one of our best commenters too). Well he won't see this, so I won't say happy birthday---but Happy Birthday Mark! (I said it anyway, lol.) Beautiful image, Andrea.
