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.

I thought about the rough water as well, but doesn't look too angry in full view. Nice shot and glad you had such a nice day.

Terrific seascape. I like how the groyne mirrors Old Harry Rocks in the distance.

What a rough sea. Fantastic shot, I like the mood and the light.

well we definitely don't have bluffs like that here, though we do have groynes. You guys have that amazing thing on TOP of the groyne, with a gull hanging out on top. A big spacious ocean shot, with a feeling of mist and haze that comes with water shots. Big and sweeping, and the light is kind of time-stands-still light. A very sea-ish and peace-giving capture, from someone who knows that sea intimately. It reminds me a little of the Northeastern coast in the States. (Maine, Nova Scotia, etc---only without the craggy impassable rocks...) I wish you a wonderful Christmas, Andrea, and thank you deeply for all the newness, wonderful wit, deeply intelligent compositions, postworks, crops, etc, and great variety of both subject and treatments that you give us here all year long, all part of your masterful eye. It's a pleasure, and I hope your season brings you peace, joy and inspiration.

Love this! Old Harry is clear as a bell. It never ceases to amaze me how much the atmosphere blurs and clears a distant feature. The groyne is lovely and mysterious, covered in the surf like that. So glad you got to get down to the beach! It's a comfort to the soul, isn't it?

I wonder if the groyne guardians have an exclusive right to their groyne? Maybe it's an inherited right, or perhaps they have to buy it somehow ("I bid 30 clams!") Seems like there are never any groynes left unattended. Love this view!

We took Freya to the beach she doesn't like to get more than her feet wet but she ran in to get another dogs stick and got swamped by a wave she's not so keen now.
