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.

Simply gorgeous. I never try to figure out what else a rose smells like besides a rose, but I understand there are those who can't leave well enough alone. This one smells perfect. :)

A delightful image especially with those water droplets.

both shots are gorgeous! the closer one is just as charming as the one revealing more of the rose plant. Our roses are all in for the deep sleep of winter. We're past the first deep freeze, ground is freezing, and we're done with all but the evergreens and the weeds which seem to stay green no matter what.

Lots of ladies don't look all that well when wet but Claire is gorgeous. Two spectacular images.

What a pleasure it must be to have this in December! Both shots are splendid but this one is the better I think!

A fine capture, love the water droplets, really adds to this shot. So many roses these days have no fragrance.. most tend to be those hybrids.
