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.

Both images are beautiful, but I really like the cooler tones in this image that contrast that lovely buttery yellow. Lovely closeup.

whoa, 2 really different images! The flicker is saturated and bursting---and that yellow is a knockout. This, on the other hand, is a quiet poem, it's subtle and subdued, almost like pastel hues. With Maria, that buttery yellow is beautiful. In zoom, there are a whole lot of colors here, incl purples, browns, luminous red stems, very pale greens...it's almost a decoupage, like it's all covered with a delicate see-through finish. Gentle and beautiful, and fitting for the season. (We're losing leaves too. You know, if I just walked outside and threw half my stuff on the sidewalk, people would be upset. But trees drop everything wherever they are, and no one says a word! What do they think they are, trees? By me, there is no more glorious 'refuse' than fallen autumn leaves, as these pics attest...)

Two outstanding images showing more beauty from decay. There is more here than at first meets the eye. Lots of color and variety.
