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.

Wow! An alien fruit for sure, looks like it could grab your face! An excellent shot! The one you sent me has grown very well, but no fruit yet, maybe next year.

What a artistic fruit and photo of it, Andrea. I wonder if they are healthy to eat.

I think that if I saw this fruit on my plate, I would question the sanity of the server not to mention the motives! Great captures

I'm with Mike. Excellent capture of some very strange fruit. After seeing the one on the left I love that you thought the flickr image was the scary one.

A top notch pic of the mauve colored Akebia, Andrea, but they seem so suggestive of the alien visitors from the movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

I love the flowers, but I've never seen the fruit matured and open like this...WOW! Cool capture!

They're beautiful! Such a creamy color with those dark seeds ... lovely!

It does indeed look like best contender at this time for alien fruit.. you eat it and turn into some fruity beast.. running amok ravishing innocent women laying in their gardens (chuckle). A fine capture there with nice detail of an unusual fruit, I'm sure it could be dressed up to look better to eat yet I suspect it may taste better than it looks. Often those that look good to eat and are juicy are the one's that can be the most poisonous.... Belladonna for afters anyone?. :-(
