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.

STRANGE AND A BIT CREEPY FLOWER

looks like little aliens crawling up the tree, just waiting for a passing tidbit to get too close

A strange beauty.

It's lovely! Does it have that wonderful scent?

These are really colorful, Andrea, I don't know witch I prefer most. Kind of reminds me of the wire twists at the market that shoppers use to tie up the fruit/veggies in plastic bags.

Beautiful! love the ribbon quality to the flower's petals .. awesome!

Most of your flowers are symmetrical, ordered, perfect. The witch hazel bloom by contrast seems unruly, growing wherever it wants. A certain charm in that. Its a lovely image.

Reminds me of a Tarantula Spider. Interesting flower. Aloha

They are beautiful colours.

They are strangely beautiful flowers in a vibrant colour, great shot! I don't have any of these but do admire them immensely. I just have the loropetalum which is a close relative and flowers pink, when in full leaf.
