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.

This is so neat Andrea. I like the angle of your shot showing the grid diagonally. It is a very strong composition!

I can remember my brother in law dropping his keys down a grill like this

I also like the yellow line and also the lonely leaf. Very nice capture Andrea.

I like how the grate is perpendicular to the road - makes it safer for bicyclists
Wonderful capture

The yellow lines are a added touch indeed !

Beautiful shot and postwork :)

A very strong composition. It does look as if someone accidentally spilled yellow paint on the grate. It is interesting that the letters are not covered giving the appearance of having been placed there after the paint.

Delightfully Wonderful Work,

love this and your abstract companion after it. Close up, these grates are total worlds. The yellow is like a bunch of cartoon blurbs---where they place the words in comic strips? And the play of the leaf and the grasses (bottom) and gravel and the the luminous purple sections make for a very living shot. You've brought grates to life for us. (They're thinking, "it's grate to be here".) (you know, that was so awful, I'm embarrassed I even thought of it...)
