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.

You'll draw me in with a rainbow of color every time. There's nothing more satisfying! And of course I LOVE the Topaz. This is mesmerizing!

Terrrrrrific. Great postwork, and wonderful colors. And great shapes. This is an andrea piece if ever there was one. The original shot is gorgeous too---for the hues of the umbrella, and the way the world sifts through it. But here, you went to town. Gorgeous.
(Brits really have a thing for umbrellas. I bought a Fox umbrella---british handmade, very sleek, beautiful, classy. The Italians make handmades too, but they're much rougher and more rustic. And they weigh a ton. I imagine Londoners on their way to work would get rotator cuff problems carrying those things around! Your umbrella, above, is gorgeous.) (And the umbrella---in its various forms---goes back to the ancient world, as you probably know. Our word comes from "umbra," other words have "sun" in them ((para-sol---around the sun)), and there are other words for them in the ancient world. It was used for sun protection as well as for signs of class. And asians put exquisite art in their folds, as you also know. I have a couple of Italian ones too, maybe I'll post a shot of them...)
