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.

a lovely portrait for the tilt of the little bird, and the expression looking right at us. And the light on the stem and the tit's yellow-green belly. Very sweet. A sweet mini portrait, and a beautiful little bird, too. (You may know it, but birds have a family of songs, each for different purposes. And many of the most beautiful songs are to announce their presence, warn intruders, attract females, etc. Some of the songs are highly complex, and when slowed down, they make most fascinating melodic lines. Beethoven imitated bird calls in his Pastoral Symphony; but the songs were too complex for his music, so he abbreviated 2 of them heavily. A bird's warble can flit through all kinds of pitches very rapidly, and hit each one accurately as it goes. We were amazed to see how complex the songs were.)
