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.

Have you got a pic of you in the tutu & Dr Martens? Great boots.

Also like this style, too bad you had to get rid of them but sounds like they are going to a good home. Luckily you have the red velvet ones to count on Andrea. LOL a tutu would work under the right conditions ! !

Very cool post work. I don't understand the title though. Is DM the initials of who you gave them to?

I would have given anything to see you in DMs and a tutu! But this shot will have to do...

Neat capture!

When I was young, before I learned all the "words", there was an insult that was making the rounds, "Your mother wears combat boots". I never did figure out what that meant or why it was an insult but these look close enough. I have a nice pair myself in black. But no tutu.

Oh wow, I LOVE these and am sad for you that you had to part with them but at least you know they went to a good home!!

Great image and the postwork has given them a vibrant aura! What footwear do you wear with your gardening tutu? It's such a difficult choice!

Sensational looking boots - Doc Martens never go out of fashion, BB

I want to see a self portrait with that tutu!

I've never owned a pair, being more of a clog-or-barefoot sort of girl, but I understand they're thoroughly comfy. I'm too lazy to put on lace-up tennis shoes most of the time, let alone DMs. Too bad, because I love the look!
