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.

Funny image.

Brilliant save. I wanted to celebrate International Yoga Day but found it too much of a stretch.

I had no idea! You've caught the spirit of the day, and the details don't matter.

What's better than Topaz? This is great...reminds me of a couple of girls from Thailand.

To Mike: Getting into this pose is easy, but maintaining it without faltering is whole other matter. It's done to get balance on all fronts, and the longer you keep it up, the more meditative it becomes. Without flinching, my main yogic teacher (a monk, who refused to be called "guru" or "master," even though he was a magnificent man who did service on the streets of calcutta through his late 80s)---he'd say: "Now lift the other leg." We all laughed, but he didn't: It was like a Zen koan. "Lift it in your minds," he'd say. "I want you to feel weightlessness." You'd have whole weeks on one quality: Weightlessness, or heat, or bright light, etc, all of which you were to create inside yourself...this pic brings me back...Anyway, I love this pic! Love the symmetric posing of the two; and your filters bring out the flux and rushing energies of their outfits' designs, plus the Van Gogh-like lines of the background. I love this. I really do. Terrific.
