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.

It's that gorgeous white for me. I too grew some from seed in my allotment and they are out in flower too.

When I was a child, the only flowers I knew were lillies, and so I called this breed "purple leopard lilies" Back then, all flowers were lilies, except for roses and peonies, those were...well...roses...and those smell-good things in the back yard of the house I grew up in. It's a different house now. The lilacs are long gone. Oh well... ...Anyway...I love this shot and the memory it conjures of...um...purple leopard lilies. I suspect they'll make their way into a story at some point, but until then, I'll just marvel at the wonderful little spots leading into the quiet, still regions within the little private flower nooks you captured here. This is such a relaxing, elegant photo.

OH Yes! it is such a beautful plant and give the most gorgeous flowers one could ask for. I never owned such flowers in my garden though.What a wonderful, clear shot, Andrea.

Stunning pic and flower

I love these; the white ones with the DNA-pair freckles is particularly engaging.

We've got loads of them here. Acid soil from all the fir trees makes them quite happy. That pink is a lovely variety. Beautiful!

My favourite must be the white one with those cute purple freckles, very precious ;) the flickr version is also lovely, but I can't just quite make out the pink one ? irresistable - do they have a perfume ? BB

beautiful flower, very nice capture

Oh a beautiful shot! I like that we see the white variety so sharply, and the pinks a little softer in the back, I first saw the later pick you posted with the pinks very sharp and the whites in the foreground a little softer. Both are marvelous captures, and I would have them both in my garden .. maybe for next year

An amazing FlickR version to see right down the throat of these lovely foxglove blooms! I do like the pink color and I am partial to the speckled blooms today!
