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.

Same in London, and they promise tomorrow is some of the same. I share you enthusiasm for the light, but not the gardening hehe! Lovely pic.

We are still cold, though yesterday was a lovely sunny warm day, nowhere near warm enough to even think about gardening, but no heavy winter coat was needed! And Leya didn't even need her warm coat for her walks! We wont' see flowers like this for many months .. I think spring will be late as the lakes are frozen over, and it will take a long time for the ice to melt and the waters to warm. We'll have cold winds blowing off the lakes, even summer may be a cool one.

A lovely flower but Camellias don't like me I must try one in a big pot sometime. The weather was sunny and warm enough to take off the thick jumpers, my pear tree is looking as if it may pop soon if we get a bit more of this sun but for now it's Snowdrops and Daff's and a tiny Cyclamen which has been moved a number of times and at last seems to like it's latest spot.
