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.

What a wonderful collection of shots, you certainly have green fingers and I'm sure the summer months are going to be a riot of colour with some amazing insect action too.

Absolutely lush, colorful, and well tended as depicted in this sterling montage, Andrea. With taking care of the canine corps, going to the beach, taking walks upon the heath, visiting the rest home, photographing, shopping in downtown Bournemouth, and taking luncheon with your friends, I don't know where you find time for gardening.

I love your reply to Ronnie. Thanks for the laugh. Your garden image is the pictorial equivalent of chocolate cake. And I luuuv chocolate cake.

WOW, what amazing colors pops up in your garden, Andrea. I've never seen a white Clematis, and such a fantastic yellow Azalea. A delight, and a big party for the eye. I think you will look with pleasure and a lot satisfaction, plus satisfaction at your intense wonderful looks, your garden shows every day to you.
