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 very pretty bird well captured. I'd love to hear her sing!

Thank you very much Andrea and it is tomorrow but no worries, I appreciate all good wishes. Mrs WP does look quite self satisfied and I wouldn't want to expose my armpits to anyone, even the sun, as they are nothing to be sniffed at !!!

I love the creamy texture of her breast feathers - so lovely. I may have set you astray with Jeff's birthday - keep in mind that I am 6 hours behind you over there so I send it out on the 24th so it is there when he gets wakes up on the 25th!!

What a wonderful shot of this beautiful Madama Pigeon :) Happy Birthday, Jeff :-D

I hope she doesn't spend too much time on that metal plate lest she turn into squab. She is an especially pretty bird and your capture shows her off at her best.

She is in top condition for the time of year! A superb portrait indeed! I'm confused about tanning men and armpits! Are there really people who do that?

Beautiful capture, the two baby pigeons on my apt steps finally where able to fly higher up on the roof top with there parents who have been watching out for them. I tried getting a shot of the Dad because he has some of the most colorful wings on a pigeon I have early seen but he always flies away. Love the detail in your capture...:))

She looks well fed too.
