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.

Stunning composition, my Friend! How very pretty, and evident of the first signs of the season. Always a difficult start to spring, I find… but once it starts, it's ever so beautiful, and literally in full bloom! How very delicate and pretty! Wishing you a Happy Easter!

Thank you very much Andrea. I've seen a tree like this on my way to the city; I knew it was a Magnolia but wasn't sure which one. BTW Great capture I wish you and your family a Happy and Blessed Easter

Sterling pic of the magnolia with pussy willow petals. All that late season snow and now the appearance of spring two weeks early, in defiance of the frost? Incredible.

Spring is here whether Winter likes it or not. A beautiful flower and wonderful composition with a perfect color coordinated background.

I got a whole bunch of shots almost just like this yesterday at the botanical garden, the trees were in full bloom. No matter the calendar time, it seems to be spring now!
