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.

Thanks for the FlickR version because I thought this was a window washer at first look. I love the hat and the overall presentation!

They're both terrific andrea pieces, this one is closer and more head-on (or back-on). (The other is from the side, and we get to see this climber's posture better.) Love what you do with objects, and how you get humanoid creatures out of twisted lines and hairy things. A sunbather making its way to the big dark attic, where an owl awaits (and a dark chamber behind). The blast of light---from the left side---is very rich; and it's in strong contrast with the darkness above it. And you've done something you do in other instances as well: You've postworked the lower window (or opening, frame---I can't tell what it is exactly) with your edge work and your colonized color-areas. You get total separation when you do this (the differently-postworked portion fits into the whole, but remains totally it's own area). And the light/dark is almost chiaroscuro. Delightful and dramatically lit...and I love the climber---he/she is a great creation!
