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.

You have an uncanny ability to find beauty in places most folks would walk on past and not even notice.

Fantastic shot, beautiful colours and great details. Looks like someone has nibbled on it.

I can only imagine living in a climate damp enough to see these every year. Nice shot.

A great shot and info. You have helped me with this one! I found a large semicircle of them with huge caps (sombreros more like!) Exactly the same so my ID search is over, thanks!

I like that creamy color. Yummy! I'm not tempted to eat it, but it's quite lovely.

Fantastic capture!

What a lovely ivory color. The design elements in these would make for a unique set of ceramic plates.
