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.

Fine work.

This reminds me of the wedding rings my wife & I bought the day before we were married. We were poor & weren't into jewelry anyway, so we went down to Greenwich Village & bought two identical rams head rings for $12 each. My ring broke the next night, which might have been interpreted as a bad omen for our marriage, but the marriage has lasted 43+ years & is still going strong...

Something from your younger and wilder days? Looks like a Chinese dragon. I'm sure someone younger and wilder will love it.

I wish I had photographed some of the things I no longer have. It is a great way to preserve the memory of loved treasures that get passed on.

Beautiful close up. I had a completely different picture in my mind from the title... A "whitch-ring" as we here call a ring of fungi :-P

That is an unusual ring, both pics are great.

It looks interesting!

with Mark, yes it looks like something from your younger wilder days. And in closeup (full zoom) it is a big spilling opulent thing. I can see how it doesn't 'speak' to you anymore. It's a whole other style, I think, from what you like now. Hope it makes a nice gift for someone else...

The finest detail of all is the texture of your skin! In combination with this ring it works perfect. Great catch!

OOh looks like a past fad.
Hope you didn't pay a lot for it !
