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.

Stunning capture Andrea. God bless.

Wow! That's a lot of traffic in a small area. Yes I believe your decision to walk is a wise one. It would take you twice as long to drive and find a parking place.
It is fun to see the places people live in the other places in our world.

Seems to be a lot of traffic out! I'm sure we walked that way more than once while we were visiting all those years back!

Someone standing in the middle of the street, people who don't know how to park, yup, typical city. I love to see street scenes.

interesting and fascinating capture

Looks like a pleasant town. My first impression is that there is life there. The sidewalks in my town are usually deserted and most of the small shops have been absorbed by giant malls. I also like ex-Ahab's comment showing how much more style the British have than their American cousins. "I always fancied one o' those flashy wicker-work jobs, with the bentwood handles." I us an aluminum luggage "trolley" with a cardboard box for groceries.

Good to have everything in walking distance. Wish we had a Waitrose.

A beautiful place, full of life but also of order and calm. Whenever I see the British traffic surprises me see the cars going in the opposite direction to our traffic. I had an Austin, but the steering wheel had been adapted to our country, so I have not yet experienced a true British car.

It's like here, lots of parking cars. Fantastic shot with many details to discover!

I know there's a big difference between this scene and high rises, but it's still amazing to see a genuinely packed city street in your gallery. I assume this doesn't give you claustrophobia, if for no other reason than there are no buildings over a few stories high. And maybe also because this street isn't duplicated 3000 times in every direction. I love the counterpoint of it all, the bustle and interaction of so many shapes, lines and colors. And making out names too---"To Let" at first looked like "toilet" and I thought, man, they really advertise toilets in England! You have a lot of things we have here, except with British names. (I hope that isn't too much of an insult, lol.) And Waitrose is, I assume, a food store? Ok I looked it up---it's a supermarket! I love the pile up of facades here---and, in the flickr version we get to see more. But this version packs it more, feels more like a crowded street. Love that you posted this (you have some serious hills where you live!). Well I'll be back for more, Andrea, but I wanted to comment on this because I love the shot, and at least our homes have a little in common...(a little)...
