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.

Phenomenal clarity, color and sharp contrast in this macro, Andrea. By your comment, I take it that it does require pruning. And, I say, wasn't there a British Prime Minister named Clematis Attlee?

Very similar to one I had, but not the same. I think your photo makes them look better than they really are! No pruning? Yeah right, not as long as you don't mind them taking over the entire neighborhood! Mine were very aggressive, like the creatures in Aliens, and I couldn't get rid of them fast enough, and getting rid of them was not easy!

So amazing to look at and it reminded me that some were so similar to this one, exhibited at your very own English flower show in Chelsea, this month - absolutely stunning specimens, did you have a chance to go and see the show? I saw it on TV of course and thought, I am proud to say, Australia did really well this year, hope you liked it also ... BB
