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.

Beautiful capture Andrea. Is there frost on this flower or is that part of how it looks?

Beautiful with its sugary icing! Somehow it seems wrong for it to have a man's name, though!

I love the white fringe this has: it's almost like some of the extravagant candies I've seen in various places: really delicate things with a sugar frosting that does that "margarita thing" around the edges. That frost is such a wonderful accent to the colors: something of a surprise and it establishes a nice tension as I see it: the colors imply a kind of warmth, but the frost is there, telling you that warmth has decided to go elsewhere: maybe for a holiday, and so it raises all sorts of nice, existential questions, which is what art is supposed to do! This is super.

Excellent color and contrast in this portrait of the hardy camelia, A! It has to be vigorous if those ice crystals are any indication.
