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.

Love it! A great picture, and your title makes it even better. Amazing, what a difference a couple of words make. :)

Looks like quite a mob out there. The only things missing are the torches and pitchforks. Funny and creative.

What a capture, I love the whole mix. But I assume wassailers are still considered, in England, a joyous hard-drinking group of people singing in the streets? At least in the past...(You probably know that the root is "hale" or, earlier, "hail," which is related to our "health"---be healthy, be hale! "Wassail! wassail! all over the town, Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown...") So with all the purgatory here---which I can see---it's a very positive image, of wassailers taking over the whole shebang, with a big boisterous party of health-giving ale and song. That's at least how it looks to me. And your pov makes it like a big sprout-salad uprising, storming the gates and demanding to be eaten! Delightful shot. I really like this!

A lovely tangle of life.

What a great idea. I remember being warned about purgatory when I was growing up. That was part of the 'SH*T" the Catholic Brothers used to try and brainwash us with.................
