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.

Snow looks so pretty but not good if you have plans to go anywhere :o(

Why darling I love the new hairdo. Looks like little Hazel is wearing a wig. We've been going through a cold snap here in Soutern California. Of course, when I say cold snap I mean anything below 15 degrees celsius.

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting it. I have only seen snow a couple of times in my life in Australia. Just up on the tallest peaks.............

The witch hazel looks nigh onto artificial, seemingly like thin gift ribbons, in this stellarly focused foto, Andrea. I like the liberal toppings of snow/ice atop the blooms.

let's see - spend several hours taking pics of perfume bottles and posts a picture of a witch hazel with snow on it......LOL Sounds like you day was interesting

Lovely! I do like that flat, winter light. Hazel looks nice with snow! :)

What a beautiful combination! I do like snow, it makes everything look so much more beautiful, covers up a lot of stuff that isn't so pretty. Until it gets all dirty and nasty looking. That happens fast in the city. We had snow too! But not as much as you did, just enough to cover the grass.

Great photo Andria. We had a little snow in Torbay but it rained soon after and washed it all away :)

Very pretty.

Wonderful capture of the snow in this. Maybe perfume bottles in the snow would make a cool twist. :)

beautiful capture, great contrast!

Only way to go as you certainly don't want to be out in it too long. This is a fabulous capture of the snow covered witch hazel. I guess it isn't smelling much in the snow.
