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.

Super shot of a really beautiful place.

Your garden looks beautiful, even when it rains. Excellent shot!

Quite beautiful! I'm a keen rain walker myself! A trick I learned after 30 years of holidays in the Lake District.

I remember rain. I seem to recall it was wet. We had a little of it last week. After such a long time no one knew what it was. I heard someone tried to sacrifice a virgin. Anyway, this is a wonderful image, so refreshing. I can almost smell the clean air. I hope you have a mud room for Buster.

There you go again, Andrea, making me jealous. You get rain, and I get a never ending summer, with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s Fahrenheit this week. Maybe it will cool off by Halloween, hopefully next month. That said, excellent pic of Buster, shown negotiating his way through your vast garden.

Buster looks content as he can be....... and mr woodpigeon must love it... there at the top all by him lonesome self....... bless his heart...he needs a lady love close by........ Buster is company but not the kind I meant LOL Love how you captured the rain as well added the perfect ambience........ Hugs Susan~

Buster doesn't care... great image, Andrea. we still ahve early-summer temperatures in the afterenoon. something wrong up there
auntietk
LOL @ Mark! He's got the quickest wit. We've had a bit of rain here too, but that's just our normal October weather. It should let up in about ... oh ... maybe five or six months. :P
anmes
still looks lovely in the rain..and WHAT rain. During the next drought period you'll back at this with longing!!

beautiful garden scene, even if it rains
danapommet
Lots of rain in the garden is good and from this POV it looks like it is much bigger than I thought. Fantastic capture of Buster.

It's very interesting (and funny) to read the comments of those of us who haven't seen enough of this beautiful wet stuff. I heard on NPR (national public radio) today how Texas politicians and officials should be making preparations for a dryer future (and aren't). Wonderful capture of the falling rain, garden, and Buster! I love the lines of rain and the many shapes and colors behind it.
