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.

Do I see a spook looking down on the mid left ????? You can see it more clearly in zoom.

A wonderful spot and shot Andrea! I thought it was an artist palette after using a knife to drag the paint out!

An interesting capture developed into a very pleasing abstract work. Zoom view a must.

I would be beyond comprehension for me to leave a bucket of water outside here and have it freeze!

I agree with Klaus, it was my first impression too, I like this Andrea!

A really neat image, Andrea! I like this abstract and the cool blue colour you have captured! It's almost like there are tiny images to see amongst the bigger one!

I like this. What a great catch. Your post work just enhances the look.

Very cool capture - and here I thought you had crossed over and started doing fractals!

Brilliant! I love abstract photography, and this is a perfect example of why I like it. A part of me sees this as something done by hand, probably with various inks or acrylic paint or something like that. The colors are so amazingly crisp and eye-catching. I can easily see this on a gallery wall in some swanky River North location...walking distance from the other gallery, with that modern landscape stuff that looks like somebody sneezed on a sponge; this, I must say, is far more appealing! It's so visually exciting.

Oh, and it's really amazing how metallic this looks. I really like this!

Really interesting part of the bucket! Well done. :)

Fantastic! I think my kids are freezing their butts off not being used to these type of winters yet!

Very interesting work :)

Nice to see you do get some cold weather.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

oooh, I love it! And I'm seriously jealous now, it was 60 degrees F today. We'll have daffodils and crocuses before long at this rate, and no good winter to be seen. I'm so depressed!

Outstanding subject.

Fabulous captures!

lol chip---looks like someone sneezed on a sponge...no (with him), this doesn't look like that. A scintillating ice abstract, with forms that look like molten metal, and a rich deep blue all around. In fact, parts of this look like chocolate. I like the larger version too (flickr), where we get to see the walls of the 'cavern' around it. A very pleasing and visually exciting abstract, Andrea.
