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.

A wonderful image to stimulate the imagination. I immediately thought of this:
A month of nights, a year of days Octobers drifting into Mays You set your sail when the tide comes in And you cast your fate to the wind ~ Vince Guaraldi and Carel Werber

Perfect story illustration, with or without the story! This is terrific!

yeah, tara says 'perfect story illustration'---it feels like that. (She hadn't commented when I first saw this.) This is much more than a doodle or sketch: It's a full illustration. Love the stylized waves---they have an almost Japanese stylization (like hokusai). Love the bubbles (in white) under the boat. And the reds and pinks in the sail and in the background. And that great cloudburst on the right---with swirls of whit and grays, like iced pastries. And cartoon clouds above. This is terrific. Boy are you good at these. Sheesh.
