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 don't think we've ever seen the entrance. This is as beautiful and charming as the rest of your walks here.

It's so hard for me to remember that what I find to be ordinary and not worth shooting might be interesting to someone else! Of course I think other people's "ordinary" is fascinating, so I don't know what's wrong with my mind that I can't remember to take pictures in my neighborhood. Down here in deep-south Texas (the Rio Grande Valley) the land is flat, irrigated, and agricultural. Imagine field after field after field, miles and miles of agriculture. Parallel to the Mexico border is a highway with towns strung out like a pearl necklace. Several small-to-medium-sized towns one after another after another with no discernible break between them. You can see a palm tree from at least a couple miles away, it's so flat. The largest town to us is McAllen, if you want to see where we are. We'll be leaving early next week, so I don't know if I'll have a chance to get out and take pictures before we head out.

You are so right Andrea.
Similar or not == each of us live and are surrounded by very interesting sites and of course seasonal changes, weather and postwork makes the same spot look very different. I am sending off a pic. of the river out our back door. Looks like the river is thawing -- no its the snow on top that is melting.
This is a gorgeous picture of the entrance and lane where you go walking.

With the light and the trees my first thought was that this could be somewhere in the Mediterranean! Nice capture!
