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.

Major streets are usually very busy and noisy like you say. Hope the noise doesn't bother you or the pets. Driving while intoxicated laws are very stiff here in Canada--- Rightfully So indeed. Sadly the harassing, loud and noisy night lifers get away with a lot in your neck of the woods The NO Tolerance Rule you have is quite appropriate and fair.
Great camera work as always Andrea.

It looked peaceful. Sorry that so many humans are such a nuisance. The laws in America for driving drunk are tough, but not enforced. Just being drunk in public and being stupid earns a night in the tank. Good for you for sticking up for your rights in your home. In America it could take you years to remove someone from your house. Thru the court system that is. 😏

Wonderful capture! Bev said it best and unfortunately it almost takes an act of God to move the noisy parasites away

I know your road, and this gives a much more realistic impression (in an impressionistic manner!). It's a lovely area, but definitely not as quiet as one might assume from most shots! Well done.

Still looks deserted but then I live in Los Angeles.

Gee! I never realized, that your road was that busy. About lodgers, you are lucky living in UK, as it seems you can get rid of a bad lodger in no time. That is not possible here, just like that.

We live in a cul de sac so the only cars coming her are either visitors or owners. Very quiet here.

Very impressionistic. May be noisy and busy out front but what a slice of heaven you have around back.
