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.

An unfamiliar plant to me! I looked it up, thinking perhaps you'd finally lost your mind and were just making shit up as you went along with that latin name (of course I found it, and should have known better). It's nice to know there are weeds I've never seen and have not spent hours yanking out of my garden! :)

Some of the wild flowers are very attractive and to call them weeds can often be unjust but then a wild flower meadow is a sight to behold. Lovely shot

I also had never heard of this; what a lovely "weed", wonder if I should import some to compete with the blackberries here? Excellent capture!

Lovely flower and a nice sharp close up It might look better if you cropped some of the out of focus stuff on right and top it's a bit distracting.

Gives the feeling that its been to the hair dressers and had its tips done. Very pretty wildflower and a wonderful catch.

Another weed I could learn to love .. wonderful coloring! Sounds as though it's quite invasive though. Interesting latin name .. is truly illegitimate?

I like these and stunning colors - I hope that they are not just common weeds!
