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.

Your fiddling brings out fantastic colors and patterns. This would look great on fabric.

There is nothing like the warmth and comfort of watching a live fireplace shooting awesome dancing flames.

Yes, with Denise, the original is stunning (and soft and sensual)---but this is a WOWZER. Great work Andrea! Your edge and line work is at its best here, creating a collection of highly textured gem surfaces or glass surfaces, reflecting and refracting wildly. The purple center accentuates the "gem" quality all the more. It's like a geode. Even your upper areas are sunken in a deep purple, with light-waves breaking off in sheets (the way they do from the surface of the sun). (That's if you happened to visit the surface of the sun recently). Full zoom's a must---and a treat. Terrrrrrrific!
(do you know how cool it would be to visit the surface of the sun? And come back with pics??? You'd need ultra low ISO, reeeeeeallllllly resilient glass, and lots of bottled water. Man, I'd be there in a second!)
