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.

Very nice find... most walk this by while an artist stops and takes a shot. GREAT

See, this is what happens when you get old. Your memory becomes cluttered with little bits of trivia. For example, seeing this title I remembered that Japanese word for Zig Zag is Jigu Jagu. This and the other image show a lovely view. I hope this is all protected open space. After seeing the Hilton I worry Bournemouth will go the way of the little towns near me. Nothing but wall-to-wall beachfront buildings.

If she was sitting at Beachy Head I'd be worried....I love the zigzags in this one.

Nine years apart...the 2009 photo has a contemplative mood...the 2018 shot has a bright, inviting mood. Like 'em both. I also like that the city has added more benches for us older folks to sit upon. Five on the zig-zag where there were only two and six up above where there were only four.

I love your pov. The angles and juttings are terrific and rhythmic. I love the turn of the shoreline in the distance. And that old woman near the front. And the zig-zaggy lines of the railing tops, as they move to the back of the image. A really musical image, Andrea. Very, very appealing...

Bot are beautiful views !
Mother Nature is very unpredictable --- sometimes hot --- sometimes not.
