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 loved this on two levels when you posted it: One, the geometry and abstraction. And two, that you called it "parasol," which gives it a whole other meaning. All that abstract energy around it, and yet the little parasol-top becomes our focus. Great title! And this works in both the display image, the first zoom, and then the largest zoom: Each version has its own allure. Wonderful line and angle work, and the reflection against the window is terrific. And you got these kind of Hiroshige, Hokusai hues in the upper portion (the way they got those pastel hues and morphs with whatever they used for their prints). I love this. I didn't notice those hues when you posted it, but now I do. Love the shot and how your title alters our entire perception of it.
