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.

Oh, but these 'parts' are magnificent. Such a gorgeous environment. I think your mother was wise to tear out the tennis court(?) all those years ago.

The gardens looking beautiful this month.

Well then, these are the parts to see, and they look lovely! I could easily make a collage of things in my garden that you shouldn't see, in fact that might be fun...hideous, but fun!

It is a very beautiful garden for sure seems we are now getting fall weather so now our summer has been shortened down to 3 months.

An overwhelming amount of brilliant colors and shapes, your garden shows, my friend. So amazing as it radiates, as in a land of joy. I suspect second on top, it's the beard tongues (Penstemon)? We bought the same (color too) a few months ago.
