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.

What a graceful little thing! I love the almost fleshy feeling this has. The symmetry is quite eye-appealing as well. I love the muted sense of color and the way this inspires me to think about something involving...well...aliens with skin in this particular shade.

The pattern of the flower looks like it was designed by a quilter. (Of course it would be the other way around, but still ... I'm sure you see what I mean.) What a beauty!

Such beauty in such a teeny tiny space. Another one new to me. The symmetry is lovely.

A most unusual plant to my eyes, and precisely symmetrical as far as the petals and pistils are concerned.

Tizzy took a spectacular photo Andrea. A very delicate flower and are those four stamens.

Great macro Andrea, I've seen a lot of these Laurels but never taken notice of the flowers.
