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!
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!
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.

both shots are delicate beauties, Andrea, the flickr is a full in-your-face bloom (with delicate gradated hues), and this one is a 'shy' bloom, very subtle and recessive; and you captured the water drops finely. Very nicely centered too; a very sensitive shot. We still have snow, so flowers are a thing of the future; but it's awfully nice to know that you, who live in a temperate climate, have them this early in the spring. This has a lovely deep pink hue.

the temps did rise a bit over night, but are to get cold again. Not bitter cold, just cold. It is a dull gray and dreary day with misty rain and dampness that goes right to the bone. So it is a pure delight to see this beautiful pink camellia, complete with rain drops! And green, wonderful lush green! It lifts my spirits today, thank you for this one!

Simply loverly, this Camelia is. And so close in similarity to a rose. With all of that precipitation you received I'm not surprised by all the flowers.
