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.

Wonderful find! We have had potatoes that grew sprouts like this, but I had never noticed the resemblance to birds like they are here.

You've brought out the birds with only a touch here and there, and it's brilliant! The only thing left to do with these is plant them. :P

Occasionally I forget that I have bought potatoes and leave them under my sink in the kitchen. Then the smell arrives....and it's HORRID!!!!!!

Great capture... this induces an hallucinatory experience where birds and other fantastical creatures appear before one's eye's.

I do see a few bird faces especially on the left center - it is amazing what nature can create!
