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 attractive flower, I can imagine as you say this would be good for drying... I also like the post worked version too... nice variation.

What a beautiful photo. I really like your sense of composition -- the "dome" effect of the flower bush is very pleasing. You've got a good eye.

Ahh, that's what this one is; they have these at the botanical garden (along with lots of other kinds) but I didn't know which these were. Beautiful capture!!

Looks like a geometric body! ...I think wisiwig has described it better than me

How pretty they are too.

Starburst-like blooms dominate this stunner, Andrea. But great for drying, like in manufacturing potpourri?

It is a stunning showy flower and I like your POV. Nicely done.

Oooooohh! I like the other one! The depth and color are stunning. I like this one just fine, but the other one grabbed me more.

Both Allium are very pretty - it has been so cold up here that our Allium are a month away from opening!
