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.

When I first read the title, I thought you were telling us the name of some hideous disease that is sweeping the world and that you just learned about... I can hear the Doctor say, "I'm sorry old chap, but you have Ranunculus and I'm afraid there is no cure! Would you like a cup of tea?" Great capture of this lovely flower

AMAZING COLOUR!

About as close to being a rose and not being a rose as depicted in this marvelous macro of the Ranunculus bloom, Andrea. Beautiful orange textures.

You can post your flowers anytime, m'dear, they're beauts. This is beautiful, looking straight at us, and the folds and those yellow highlights are gorgeous. A wonderful head-on portrait of this beautiful flower---and a terrific hello to spring, which you've already greeted with your eye popping garden montage. As harry says, this is as close to being a rose and not being a rose...it's a beauty.

Gorgeous .. especially on a cloudy dull and somewhat raw day we had today! And I loved Faemike's comment, giggles!! Ranunculus does sound rather like a dire diagnosis by one's doctor!!
