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.

What an amazingly cool shot! Happy new year, Andrea, and I hope it's a good one for you and the furkids!

It's a shame that they are going to tear it all down and 'develop' it for something ugly great capture

This also works for people. My stepmother and uncle are the only ones in my family left from the World War II generation but my best friend just became a grandmother. I hope you have a wonderful new year, Andrea.

Lots of rusty textures that looks like it may not make it through the Winter!

Fascinating and creative shot. I do believe there is a Barbed Wire Museum somewhere in the USA, not sure if it's somewhere in Kansas?.

The rust is so satisfying! I like the contrast. Nice!

simple, and like a pair of old, good friends. One's a little rustier, but he/she's got color and character. I like how the 'ties' are both facing downwards---harmony. Perfect little shot...
