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.

Impressive as always. My humble garden (if I even dare call it that) has a few crocus and a couple of Daffodils raising their heads..that is it. :) I love that you share your lovely garden each month like this. Thank you.

Amazing, Andrea, what a beautiful light can be admired on this fantastic collage of great colors and details. May I ask, what do the letters on your path in the garden? Your Camelia is wonderful, Andrea. That lion must be very happy, to be allowed to stand in your garden.

Excellent collection of shots, you certainly have a lovely garden and it seems accessible all through the year, the colour is showing already, that is a good sign for the summer, also good to see some art out there too... I spotted a face in the middle shot. Nice work.

As always a gorgeous montage from your garden Thank you Mies for asking - as a computer geek - I was trying to read left to right instead of reading down.

Me too, me too, *waves both arms about" I saw them right away, grins, AND figured out what it said!! Now it's time to pass out the gold stars Ms. Andrea! Your Garden of the Month Montage is always the high point of the month, and I always sit and study the images and envy your awesome, beautiful, magical garden. But it takes so much work .. well worth it I think.
