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.

We have had some heavy frosts lately.

Excellent close up! It looks like a poor attempt at gift wrapping!

I love how ice just does its own thing - these are great captures

Your images provoke the most curious thoughts. An excellent capture which made me think of my mother's fruit and gelatin desserts. Old age I guess. Love the icy details.

Very interesting capture of the pond life frozen in motion !
Our icy ponds will stay frozen till Spring--someday in April.

Great reflective patterns - they kind of look like dragonfly wings...

Very impressive capture, it looks like a lot of dragonflies 🤗

both shots are beautiful, and it really brings home how amazing nature forms are, even when they last but a few hours. You caught the tension lines, the activity of this sight, the way the branches seem to pull the water like plastic covering or taffy and get frozen in that position. And the 'triumph' of a few branches breaking through (like the ones on the right side, about 2/3 of the way across the pic). Both shots are beautiful. And it would be great if these forms could last a little longer...they're beautiful to see.
