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!
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!
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.

OMG, what brave soul took it upon themself to stuff cotton down those sharp spines? But it does make for an imposing image, and elegantly done, I must say. Superb closeup clarity from your Tizzy18, Andrea.

Keep that cactus away from me - my thumb still does not have all of its feeling back yet. Thanks for the look into your greenhouse – very well organized. .

I love the way these have that white fiber around the spikes. And you have a TON of work ahead of you with all that lot of seedlings!

I have a wooly aphid moment whenever I see these. It looks brutal up close!
