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.

So, so beautiful! What a perfect shot..lighting, POV, all of it. The clarity is mind blowing. Makes me want to reach out and touch these delicate little blossoms. It IS over too soon, isn't it? One rain or good wind, and all of nature's new finery goes poof in a single day. And it's short-lived enough, when you get right down to it. I'd be happy if we just had one or two good full weeks of being able to savor all the new blooms, sights, shades and hues everywhere. But seems they're here...and gone in a flash. Makes them all the more precious though, I guess. :)
