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.

Six hours out there? If I tried that it would be my last day on earth. In any case, I can't believe its been another month since the last mass posting of your lovely garden, A, and a botanical one at that.

Rosie, as the tightrope dancer and Ralphie wondering what the fuss is all about (?) The garden is a testament to your skills, and not only in the arts department ... but then again, it's a different kind of art and just as satisfying, something to be proud of Miss Green-fingers! fabulous Andrea, BB PS I'd just noticed, that Mark stole my words ;))

Another nice tour of your garden, and it must be a lot of work to maintain it.
