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.

a beautiful full-hued open-armed capture of this beautiful flower, and if you wanted to add these hues to your recent garden, you sure managed to do it with this shot. Very face-forward, and a big flower-hug for your viewers. The whites/cream hues and the pink/reds are so full and vivid. Beautiful piece of work, Andrea. (I have to stop here, I can't do my usual many images, because of time; but I'll be back for more, and know once again that I've seen everything, every image, and I've sat with them all. It's always a pleasure, Andrea...)
