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.

Always beautiful Andrea.

Absolutely wonderful. No wonder your doggies love to reat in the sun wagon and just suck in the sun and the scent of mother nature when it is best.

Another sterling monthly montage of botany at its best. The vast variety of plants in your lovely garden never ceases to amaze me, with each species in tip top shape due to your green hand, Andrea.

WONDERFUL GARDEN

Looks like all present and accounted for with everyone in full bloom. Such a gorgeous collection. I should be careful of lighting matches. The amount of oxygen in your garden might set things off.

Every colour of the rainbow, you must be so proud of your achievements and a joy to watch and see it all grow ... how did that Polar bear get into the mix ??? (or is it a cat ?) BB BTW they were 4 very funny names you gave those stick insects, made me chuckle!
