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.

Hmmm... skeleton keys? Or keys to your castle and all its rooms? You didn't forget the closet or the toilet keys? And the kitchen? Interesting to compare them all, and interesting arrangement. Reminds me a bit of my pockets back in the 1980s! So many keys at work. Still surprised my pants didn't fall down from all the weight! Keep up the good work! :-)

There is something about keys, Crafters love, included myself. They use them every so often in their collages :) Love this.

You learn something new everyday. Now I know what Knolling is. Fantastic post work and pastel colors. When my mother passed she left a similar collection behind. To this day I have no idea what they were for.

I have a 'thing' for keys. This image has a striking approach. I envy the originality. Nice!!

Ok. I looked up "knolling," and I got "ringing, like a bell, an older version of 'knell'," etc. And I don't know what that has to do with your image! So---no one can argue with me---I went to the Oxford English Dictionary; I mean the 2 million word, 80,000 volume, weighs a ton and has info going back to Beowulf dictionary (I have an online subscription to the monster---hey I come prepared for arguments!): And IT says the word means ringing, of bells, etc. So I'm missing something! But---whatever it means in this context, you made a joyous dancing image, I love the bottom two keys, they look like a couple about to kiss. And the others are just doing their things, while waiting for someone to take their picture. The postwork gives a kitchen counter feel to the background. And where did you EVER get so many keys???? Anyway, a dancing happy image, even if I have no clue what "knolling" has to do with it. Makes keys feel like a bunch of couples and families. Delightful.

I had to look it up, too! (Geez, Mark, just Google it.) I've seen it done, of course, but never knew there was a specific word for that sort of thing. I love how this looks with Mex Bike.

Here I am to admire your very special "knolling" keys. So special, both the image and that "knolling word". I ask myself, are these all the keys of your house, or of all that fence where you once showed a whole series of, Andrea ;-)?

Well, I learned a new word too. I looked at Tara's picture named 'knolling' and she referred to visitor to your post. So I learned something too. Great job Andrea!
