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 your 'Jump up and Kiss me', Andrea, and indeed it's a most lovely flower with this cute eyebrows. Anyway I love blue flowers, and Violets are all so sweet.

I love these, and the smaller the better; the little yellow and purple ones are called "Johnny jump ups" here. Excellent clarity of detail in this great shot!

They do so well here. If I didn't love them so much, I would tell you they're next to invasive! However, there's no such thing as too many. I even took some up to our camping lot so they can multiply up there as well. :) Beautiful image!
