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.

On those rare occasions when we have a vivid sunset in Washington, the trees opposite the sun become flaming red and orange, as if the woods were on fire. This is a marvelous shot of the phenomenon! Fantastic!

Yes it really makes your garden as a miracle, Andrea. We sometimes have this light too in our back garden, so special, huh?

Oh, beautiful, as is the flickr version. Amazing light, and I've not often seen that light so transform the trees, bushes, grasses, plants, etc. It's other worldly. I may have said this, but one of my teachers told us that most of the eye popping hues in nature are the most fleeting---sunrise and sunset hues, bold saturated flower hues, etc. The most short-lived of nature's hues. (She wasn't referring to animals, however.) Whereas the more 'tame' colors are the most plentiful. Greens, especially. Here, the fleeting hues dominate. So glad you caught this, it could be a while before it returns...
