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.

Damn, Andrea, this is brilliant! Talk about silk purses and sow's ears. Very impressive work.

Oh I am a tea drinker at heart.
You did a little magic on these tea bags Andrea.
Orange Peko and most green teas are very tasty.
I sort of like your tea set and matching place mats.
Can't buy these any longer, which makes them antique to me. LOL.

We have a nice variety of tea in the house, but rarely drink it, as I consider it to be the perfect beverage for a chilly, drizzly afternoon. Since we generally don't have those down here, even in the winter, the tea sits in the cupboard. I make sure to buy teas that are sealed in foil pouches, or loose tea in a tightly sealed canister. Tea goes stale after a while, and just tastes like grass. Now that I've said that, it's started to rain! LOL! Of course it's 80 degrees out, and I've got the air conditioner running. Hardly "nice cup of tea" weather!

I like your postwork very much Andrea.
I never thought they were tea bags.

well if my teabags looked like these, I wouldn't drink it either! Great job, Andrea, you got a really grainy texture; and full size it looks like a big shell-thing, spiraling in and out of itself. Great shading, really dramatic. Great job on this---it's really a knockout.
