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.

I thought at first a funnel. Thanks for educating me! Now I'd like to see how it's used! Keep up the good work! :-)

Tibetan Buddhists use ceremonial horns remarkably similar in shape to this. I only go as far back as the washing machines with the wringers on the top. Nice capture, this is a new one for me.

You do know that you can buy washing machines at Curries : - ) , you could get on Antiques Roadshow with it. I seem to remember using something like it when I was a Kid,It was fun then.

Like many of the others, I've never seen or heard of this kind of thing before. I do like the shape & worn metal textures a lot...
