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 like both photos. This has more postwork, I think. Dark light and gold highlights...sweet. And your background is textures---decay (I saw your comment on tara's original gourd, about decay; I'm a big fan too). And a light-dark balance. The metal work is beautiful too: I agree with the above. (Btw, when you said the Guild 'ceased to be', I couldn't help think of the famous line, "it has ceased to be, it is no more, bereft of life, it's pushin' up the daisies..." etc. "This is a late parrot...") I have a feeling your place is loaded with art objects galore. Tara and I have fantasized about seeing it one day...
