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.

lol, thank you Andrea! I love this image---another of your isobar/topographical/multiple-line treatments of just about anything that inspires you. Love the metallic effect too, like currents shooting through a copper plate and leaving their magnetic fields incised in the metal. I looked at the flickr version, and you gave the original photo---love it! I would never have guessed what you got this from. It's much flatter now, yet filled with geode-like decay and mineral deposits and god-knows-what...bright coral growths on a dark metallic plate. Again, I hope people zoom, because your work comes alive in a big way full size. Thank you! As for my flu 'leaving' me---I'm afraid it didn't get the memo: My flu decided, instead, to invite its relatives, friends, and 2/3 of the microorganisms in N. America, gracing me with 39.4C and settling in my sinuses (the little s__ts), to where they nearly burst out of my face. Man, I never knew those little sinuses could HURT so much! Eeee-yikes! And of course, coughs come at the end of a flu---which is where I am now---guaranteeing that you won't sleep for a month. (This is off topic, but whoever designed the cough should be sued. It's like 200 firefighters breaking down a wall to put out a cigarette lighter. Most coughing fits produce nada, but boy they wrack-up your body bigtime. BAD design...) Anyway, thank you so much, Andrea, another of your signature explorations of shape and line in whatever strikes your eye. Wonderful! (My microorganisms thank you too---Dmitri in particular.) (That's right, I name my germs. I'm not well.) Love it!
