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.

I sometimes think the neglect is beneficial to some plants. I should know I neglect the garden wholesale, but still get blooms :) I think you are forgiven for the neglect Andrea, as you have been quite green fingered elsewhere in the garden.

Very nice looking rose impressive to say the least - but how does the bee get inside?

You, the grand maven of all things floral, neglecting your lovely roses? For shame! Nonetheless, this one is most lovely, in a hale and hearty way. Love those color blends and undulating petals.

A beautiful color and an incredible number of petals packed into a single bloom! A wonderful POV too.

Beautiful and extravagant. Reminds me of the ruffles worn on the neck of 18th century dandies.

Awesome detail in this rose very pretty.

Wow, that has an awful lot of petals crammed into that one bloom. What a beautiful colour!! I guess you must take such good care of things overall that a little "neglect" for a season won't really affect things too much.

I'm not a rose fan but this is a striking bloom in an enchanting light!
