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!Â
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! Â
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.

Wonderful looking capture. This looks like the blossoms that come on our apple trees, although they won't be in blossom until late May or early June.

Lovely shot, the buds in my garden are at long last opening but the blossom seems to be dropping instantly, only two small very young apple trees seem to want to flower.

To say the least, it's easier to pick them, presuming that you do get a good crop? unless it is only an ornamental tree? I have never eaten better apples in my life, than when I was a child and lived in Europe and I do miss them - so crunchy, juicy and fresh, what type are yours? 'sweet as!' BB
