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.

Gorgeous! I love the soft color and the contrast against the dark background. What a nice thing to have an autumn bloomer that takes you through to the next season. I wouldn't have named it Sue ... I would have named it Hope.

Oh my, did you fool me with that title. I was expecting a female of the lesbian persuasion. Gay Sue, indeed. That said, a top notch macro of this lovely, dew bedecked Camelia, Andrea.

Must like cold and rainy weather. Tough girl. She presents a gorgeous appearance and you have captured all of it in this superb image.

It's nice that flowers still have scents.. so many of the hybrids these days have no smell. lovely capture, I like the water droplets on the petals.
