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.

I love this Hydrangea, with the icy colors on. I too love your post-work, Andrea. That makes the eye falls on the right piece.

These flowers look beautiful with the frost on them. I am guessing that unfortunately the frost will kill them, unless they are extremely hardy.

Fine foto of the Hydrangea, which with its patterns, reminds me of butterflies.

terrific background work, and wonderful frosting on teh flowers. It just amazes me that you still have blooms in your garden. Everything in ours is dead. Your garden stays very interesting even in the depth of winter. Ours is mostly browns, some of the weeds keep their green. It would be the weeds stay green, LOL.

So lucky to have blooms this late in the season!
