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.

beautiful artifacts

Superbe collection, s'il en soit. Une chanson fredonne dans ma tête : "Je suis une poupée de cire, une poupée de son". Concernant "D'un grain aux pixels", je vous remercie pour votre humour. Tout le monde aura sa part au gâteau, car, comme vous l'avez compris, il s'agit d'une métaphore concernant la surface sensible de récepteurs (appareil photographique). Remerciements, Djavad/Evelyne Superb collection, if any. Hummed a song in my head: "I'm a wax doll, a doll of her." Of 'On the grain to pixels ", thank you for your humor. Everyone will share the cake, because, as you guessed, it is a metaphor for the sensitive surface receptors (camera). Thanks, Djavad / Evelyne

Awesome keepsake Andrea, thanks for sharing.

This just validates what I have believed for some time, that more care was taken in the past with everyday items. This is quite beautiful. The best we ever had in my mother's house was a red orb that looked like a tomato.

Well taken !

What fun!. I am such a klutz that she would have been long ago broken. I do better with the non-breakable tomato version referred to by wysiwig. Actually as a kid growing up in Arizona USA we had chunks of dried century plant stems we used for pincushions.
