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.

This is a quality plant! I tried to grow one years ago when I was very new to gardening, it died! I may try again now you have displayed it in such wonder! Superb against the summer sky!

Stunning clarity, color, and contrast in this foto of the gorgeous, but near unpronounceable, plant against that wonderful sky, Andrea.

Outstanding. Perfect composition and clarity.

a variant of the Trumpet Vine that my Mom has in her yard very cool only downside to this plant is that it sends tendrils underground to start a new plant several meters away

I love these, my parents had a big one at their house in the desert when they still lived there. I guess if it can be hardy there it can easily handle Dorset! Lovely shot.
