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!
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!
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.

I think it's a very beautiful flower, lovely vibrant colour, if only my garden had such colour, sadly the only colour in my world exists in my art as opposed to my garden, I once had green fingers but these days it all dies on me. This is a wonderful capture.

aka Armand Jean du Plessis, cardinal-duc de Richelieu et de Fronsac: French pronunciation - (9 September 1585 – 4 December 1642), a French clergyman, noble and statesman. But I digress. Lovely color, blends and lighting effects in this macro of the celebrated rose, Andrea. Virtually what a beautiful pink artichoke might look like.

Nothing wrong with this shade of a mauvy-pink (?) or almost fuchsia, on the contrary - it's brill ... and great choice of title ! BB
