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.

Once again, zoom is everything: In zoom, this thing bursts out with mini textures and tiny droplets, and------orange-ness. Your flickr version bristles with sharp detail, and it's more brown than orange; and almost looks like polished/washed leather. But THIS is so orange, and the big droplets are magnifying glasses and reflectors all rolled into one. (Lotta shapes in those drops.) A lovely, scintillating shot. (Boring time: Did you know that "marmalade" comes from "meli"---for honey---and "melon"---for melon? It originally meant "honey melon". Does that change your teleological outlook? Did you find religion? As a kid, all I could think---when beholding a bunch of marmalade on my toast---was, "eeeeeooooooooooowwwww, it's got slimy things in it!" And I'd watch my father eat it, while reading the news, and I'd think, "that man has a stomach of iron!" I also thought marmalade was something you gave to 'ailing marmals'.) (True story...)
