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.

This perfume was far too strong for me, gave me a headache.

I don't know how we do it but as soon as I saw those golden boots I thought "Back to the Eighties". I remember those days. Every elevator seemed to have a strongly scented resident fog. It was hold your breath or take the stairs. On the plus side, my legs did get very strong.

Love the wrinkly texture & color intensity of that gold boot. The first thing I thought of was Elvis in his gold lamé jumpsuit...

Giorgio's Beverly Hills was born for the flashy lights and to dazzle, it was great for attracting attention ... BB

I'm catching up in small bits this time, rather than in marathon sessions. Better for my arm. And it's hard because there's so much in your gallery I want to write on. I loved this shot when it went up, and among your bottle series, this is so unusual because of that big bold boot. And unless you have the largest feet in the Western Hemisphere, that means those are very small bottles! You got the gold and all that crumpled texture (on the boot) beautifully. Great boots---I wonder if they're as comfortable as they look. And the bottles are actually eclipsed in this shot. Their gold is present though, and the shadow makes them a bit melancholy---also like they're clinging to the boot as if it were their mother. Another wonderful bottle shot from you. With a deep reddish brown background, to set off the deep gold tones. Terrific work.
