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.

Oh gosh Andrea - I did not even know they come in these colors. This is gorgeous! I love the orange. We only get the purple, pink, white variety here in early autumn. They grow everywhere next to our highways and during a good rain year it is a spectacular sight!

A lovely capture, the flowers is so vibrant it jumps out of the screen at you. Nice work. I have heard of the Chocolate Cosmos, I have never grown it but I'm told it smells of real chocolate,.

A 'stonker' indeed. I always learn something whenever I visit your gallery. The flower is beautiful and new to me.

They are both quite nice regarding their colors but these do show the difference well between the background being fiddled with or not. Very nice!
