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.

Your sea photo's are always beautiful.

Such a beautiful view. The glitter is just right, but I love the foam on the foregound.

Excellent

Terrific composition. I prefer this one. The details show better in black and white.

We do have some mighty fine inland waterways here, but we miss the ocean...it is three hours away. Your photos bring it all back....like 'em both....B&W just a shade better than the color.

Both are gorgeous, but the mono a tad more better.

almost commented on this when it went up, had it not been for other commitments...I love it, it's got all the contrasts that terrific black and white water shots can get. I feel so close to this, having lived around my lake so many years. Of course your ocean can get ferocious in ways the lake can't; but in a shot like this, they could be twins. Beautiful crest-whites. Anyone can appreciate this; but those of us who live right on the water have to kvell over this. (You know the word---yiddish for "gush" or "love it"...) I love it.
(andrea, I hope to finish a little dumb collection of "key" things for your bday, but I promise it will be brief entries, and no gushing! All that matters is that you know I remembered, and that others can celebrate with you. I'll make it palatable, I promise!) (from your keys upload...)
