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.

A lovely picture - I like helebores. A shame they hang their heads down. BTW it was a pond at the Yeovil Crematorium where I took the frog pic.

Excellent Andrea. A quite different Helebore than I posted today. And I agree with Jeff they do seem to hide most of their beauty with the bowed head

Excellent shots, and a lovely flower without doubt.

LOL, most, if not all, of my floral shots are taken outside of my habitat, which features only some succulents. Awesome capture of the demure Hellebore, a species I never encounter in my area.

It's absolutely gorgeous, Andrea! Spectacular capture of this flower, and the effect and colour couldn't be more perfect and pristine! I can just smell this from here.... how fantastic!

This one's lovely; I wonder if they look down because of all the rain, that would wash away the little critters that do their pollenation? Just a thought. Beautiful capture!

I like the soft colors of this flower - both versions!

I actually love the demur bowed head of this flower. And I like the postwork on the background as well because it brings an artistic element with added focus on the flower. Very nicely done. I have so much to learn about how to do all these great effects.
