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.

This is amazing, and where do you get all of these amazing plants? You must live in a rain forest. lol And as far as saving one of these delightful things, perhaps a heavy spray of hair spray would keep it together long enough to put on display. I'm not sure it would stay together for a hat decoration, though. Just a thought.

I have seen these so many times and as I am not a green fingered person I didnt have a clue what it was. Great shot.

Well I'm late commenting so everyone has stolen my thunder but from the thumbnail it does look like a wig. A beautiful and unusual image. First time I've seen something like this.

I don't think I'd like to see this little beauty stiffened with a spray, though it would look wonderful on a hat. Beautiful seedhead and capture!
