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'm with Barbara! All those upper and lower and finishing notes, and my favorite finishing note is the Topaz. :)

Beautiful post work and a lovely golden color worthy of the Orange Blob in our Whit House. I do love the multi-colored abstract reflected in the bottle.

man, topaz has really taken root these days. Well, with others, I think your topaz work is wonderful. And it must be seen full size to see all you did. Sensuous, swirling, merging, turning reflections into big vats of swirling hues, and bringing out the liquid-ness with real panache. (I could've written "liquidity" but that word always reminds me of finance, and I just spent half a day on my budget, and I DON'T wanna talk about liquidity. So if you want to use that word in my gallery, I'm just warning you...) You did wonderful stuff with the cap too. And btw---when viewed small, it's another of your bottle shots with gold and metallic hues, and fine light and shadow. Can be seen both ways...(btw, Andrea, I hope you're feeling better, after taking the meds you mentioned in tara's gallery)
