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'd love a flurry to go walk in! Send some our way, would you? My little beast would love it. Beautiful image of your housebound blossoms, Andrea.

Daffs are out but the sun isn't :o)

They certainly brighten that corner of your home. Lovely display. I still think Mother Nature is angry with us. You may have to get over to Stonehenge and sacrifice something to get the weather to change.

Beautiful and giving fresh hope that winter is over! Waitrose was the surprise! I thought you had really got a good picking from your garden already.

Two vases, beautiful flowers and twice the pleasure with the reflection in the mirror. Correction...I think I can spot a 3rd vase!

Climate change, my dear, climate change, at least in your part of the globe. Ours is the same old stuck-in-a-rut overcast in the morning and sunny days in the afternoon. A very dry winter this season. But I digress. NIce bit of digifiddling in this pic of the bouquet, Andrea.

Nice bright cheery flowers for the windowsill. The ones in the garden are up but no flower yet, a few mini ones are in bud and showing signs of yellow and one of two Crown Imperial Fritillary have had the top chewed off by rabbits..( It's war again.)

Gorgeous indeed.
