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.

What colours!! great capture

Vibrant colours and another fine capture, I reckon you could have open days with your garden, cream tea's on the patio and learn some good things about art and nature along the way. Who needs Monet's garden when we have the delights of Andrea's garden, right here in the UK.

The more colours the better; they're meant to be together, look at the rainbow! Wonderful capture!

Superb shot! It works so well, intensity is tasteful, especially to bugs! It would make a great jigsaw puzzle I think.

WONDERFUL WORK

Bright, lush and beautiful in this marvelous macro, Andrea. Almost fantasyland-like, with a myriad of colors to impress the most cynical. And congratulations on the birth of the new prince. The lovely Duchess of Cambridge came through with a bouncing baby boy.

Amazing collection of colors and a must zoom to study the Gatekeeper butterfly!

That is definitely the picture of a very hot and full on-looking Summer - (at last !) for you Northerners, enjoy while it lasts ... BB

I would say tasteful, indeed! The splash of colours sends a wonderful electric surge through my body as I look at this in awe! How lovely it would be to enjoy a nice drink out on deck here! :)

This can't be a photograph. You've painted a fantasy straight from your vivid imagination. Both images are just stunning.

What many colors one can see here together, Andrea. It's nature on it's best, there in your wonderful garden; and the butterfly does 'the rest', to make this picture perfect. Bravo!

They're both fabulous, but this one, with its riot of colors and clear, sunny feeling, is a show stopper! I don't know what would be "tasteful" and what wouldn't be, but this is CERTAINLY to my taste! Gorgeous!

I say exactly as Tara did. I concider this tasteful enough to love this shot. Wonderful Nature, anthropogenic or not :)
