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.

Those flowers are wonderful! Your friend did a terrific job. I wouldn't know where to start, and they'd end up looking like lumps of nothing, I'm sure! I'm totally impressed. Glad you had a good 70th! :) May you enjoy many more in good health.

I had a friend who used the term eye-candy often. Your photos illustrate his term perfectly...particularly the scrumptious cake. Many happy returns A.

Congratulations Andrea! A fantastic montage and a lovely layout of foods! A beautiful sugar flower to top off your cake but I would only eat a slice of cake since I don't know where that spikey penis pistil has been!!!!!! :o)

Such a mouth watering dishes, Andrea! Everything is designed so fantastic, I can make me a bit of an idea of the revelry that radiates from these exceptional dishes. Oh, and the fennel that looks so attractive to me, Andrea. To say nothing of those red penis, may I ask what you did with this, whether he is heavy on your stomach with your sexy seventy years?

Oh, and I love that window in it too, Andrea! :) . Continue to keep your good looks, huh? ;-)

Well first off, any upload that features "spikey penis pistils" gets my vote any day. (Sounds like a punk rock group.) I'm not sure I could bring myself to eat those...Anyway, it's a terrific looking collection of foods, and very healthy-looking too. I'm vegetarian, so I might do very well with food like this. Your shots of food always make me famished, and usually on the days when I'm low on food and I have to binge on organic lettuce and a piece of pita bread old enough to double as a freakin' floor mat. Beautiful cameos, and one---your cake---with a stained glass gothic window behind it. A scrumptious collection. I hope it was a great time---you deserve it!
