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 healthy and happy ecosystem! Beautiful!

Great image. Zoom is a must. Those tadpoles look small enough to be picked off by damselflies.

Capital composition of the blended colors, textures, lighting and stark contrast in this Tizzy pic of the leaves and such, although I don't understand the big plum at the lower left, A.

A beautiful photo, although I don't see you in it, only your talent for garden-art and your good photo-eye, Andrea.

A wonderful collection of shapes and colors! Nice reflection and I see a tiny snail on the leaf - upper left!

A beautiful shot, Andrea, with your portrait encased in a very small portion of that beautiful float. The pads make such bold contrasts, in hue and flatness. And the water is a beautiful flat 'ground' for it all. A minimal shot but with lots going on. And the tadpoles seem very determined in their straight paths, I love the contrast. And I see the tiny snail too (with dana). Amazing how much richness you get season after season from your garden and home. Like a poet once said to a group of students who were "looking for a poem" across the world: "The poem's at your feet, if you just know how to look". Beautiful.
