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.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

Innocent or guilty? The jury is out on this one. That beautiful and expansive bit of yellow petal fluff in the center of the lovely camelia is a new one on me, which shouldn't come as a surprise in the arena of flora.

First class shot and beautiful too. I have no garden now either and like the comment above you tend to feel it more so during the spring/summer when one tended to potter around in the garden. That is a beautiful flower...so delicate in colours. Nice work.

Wow, I have never seen one like that, what a gorgeous colour scheme!

I'm still skipping around as you can see, but I want to get a sampling each time I'm here. (Slowly I'm catching up with all your recent shots...) A beautiful, dark and 'inward' flower capture---hard to explain 'inward', but it feels like an intimate moment, here. The yellow emerging out of the shadowed white is beautiful. And the big background leaves set it off nicely, framing it for us. A beautiful image of hue coming from hue; with beautiful ruffles in the petals. Very delicate shot.

I'm suddenly hungry for some lemon sherbet, and I do believe it's all down to you! LOL!
