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.

What a creative object. And thank you, Andrea, for teaching me a new word. My father was a machinist, so you'd think I would have learned about swarf somewhere in my childhood, but I'd' never heard of it until just now. Probably won't be able to work it into many conversations, but maybe I'll be able to make use of it in the Scrabble games my wife & I play almost daily...

A very creative use for scrap (that's what I always called it). Just shows you are never too old to learn something new.
