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.

They look comfy!!

They look sturdy and well cared for. Never knew the shoes I wear everyday were called Approach Shoes. You learn something new everyday.

Nice shot. Don't know if the laces just naturally ended up like that or you carefully arranged them, but I like they way the snake-like way they curl around the shoes. I also like that radiant yellow background behind the earth-toned shoes...

Nice capture Andrea.
If you do not wear the shoes, you may can use them as a flower vase

I love the composition too (tara), but even moreso the ultra detail in your full size closeup, and that gold yellow background. Don't know if that's the actual color, or you made it that way, but either way it makes a lush, royal backdrop to these terrific shoes. The postworked version is very subtle---with veins running through the leather (or suede) but rather subtly. I like it a lot. And I've heard of approach shoes, and I think they're used to get to a mountain trail, then one trades them for heavy hiking boots...something like that. Anyway, I love this closeup, and I've rarely seen big boots like these look so appealing.
