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.

Now that I'm retired, I have one bag, which I never carry. If I've got my phone in my pocket, I've got a means of communication, my calendar, a camera, internet access, all my lists, books, games, and a pedometer. That's more than I need, so why carry a bag? The only thing my phone doesn't cover is my official identification and a comb. I've reached that enviable age where I'm invisible to young people, so nobody cares if my hair is combed anyway. That doesn't stop me from looking at bags, though! There's something about leather, and the possibility of organization, that totally appeals to me. Seeing several of the same thing in different colors on a display is pretty compelling as well, so you've got my attention with this shot! :)

A striking image, the post work make them look more industrial and hi vis! Being addicted to bags sounds a terrible affliction to have. May I suggest a cure, you have to carry all the bags you own everywhere you go until you realise you only need one that's capable of carrying what you really need with you! I give this advice freely and hope it saves her lots of money in bag purchases and psychiatric help! In fact she could get rid of all the unwanted bags on ebay and even make money! If this is the case a small donation is expected! Hehe

I can't imagine spending hundreds on a designer bag. Not for me. Nice digifiddle here.

They really look beautiful and I like the fiddle too, but I have totally same meaning about bags as Tara. I always try if my pockets will do the work. I have no shoulders for carrying a bag. It always slides down. It ends up with shoulder pains, from trying to keep it there :-) I have but three bags.

Same thing with bags over here - Jo must have 30 up here in New Hampshire and another 50 in Florida. House rule - you will never see Dana carrying a pocketbook. Tara - I have seen tourists use photos on their iPhones - of their drivers license and passport ID page.

Oh I had to give this addiction up many years ago. Still love bags/purses and always have to stop and have a look/ but not purchase. I only carry a very small thingy to hold a few necessary id's and a bit of cash in my pocket. My Iphone is well hidden also---too many thieves out and about way back when and now to boot ~ What a gorgeous display Andrea and wonderful postwork. And I really have enjoyed all the nifty previous comments. Smiles.

Dorothy always complains I make her bag heavy It must be the spare lens I get her to carry.
