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.

Wow. Andrea, really? And we are knee-deep in snow! Well, not really, but at least .3 meters or so.

We haven't even had winter yet! Spring is pretty far from my mind right now. The gorgeous, warm light on these lovely blooms put my thoughts on that track though, I'll admit. This is beautiful!

Spring? Oh, my...winter is just beginning here:( A beautiful bloom full of promise.

I think our American Midwest got the winter you were supposed to have. The whole area has been shut down. Your lovely pictures are a fine consolation.

Nice to see a reminder of spring unfortunately it would have been a bit wet and bedraggled in my garden the ground feels like a big sponge and we have had a big pond over a good part of the lawn.
