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.

Interesting capture, A, and you should have told me it was your birthday....I wouldn't have baked you a cake, but would have come up with some sort of fitting tribute. Maybe I still might. Anyway, have a very glorious one, young lady.

A gorgeous zoom Andrea and a very Happy Birthday to you!

Oh, what a beauty. I didn't see it until I zoomed. Its customary for the birthday girl to receive gifts not give them. Happy birthday anyway. Thirty-nine and holding.

Happy birthday my friend. WOW regarding the photo, it took me a few seconds to even notice the butterfly!

Unless I saw him fly there I probably would never have seen him. Very nice!

I agree with Wayne. It took me a time to see the butterfly, what a cracking pic Andrea, and sorry I missed you BD, happy birthday for yesterday. I think people are like property. Insofar as you are another year older, but getting more and more valuable.
