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.

Wonderful detail in this shot, love the use of shadow in this piece. Also on another interesting example of garden events is sweet pea when it ejects it's seeds, they can be like a stretched elastic band in strength... when dry and the sun beats down you can often hear them too.

My thoughts exactly. A fine image and the leaf makes a perfect backdrop. This is the second time in a day you have mentioned a hose pipe. Got me to thinking about Benny Hill. "I have got a hose pipe, I have got a hose pipe, I have got a hose pipe, what shall I do with it? Stick it up the chimney, stick it up the chimney, stick it up the chimney, and let’s put out the fire." From "The Fire Brigade Song"

Very good work and light and shadows

Great compo of contrast and light/shadow effects in this garden shot, A. In horror movies these confetti-like growths are huge and choke their victims to death. And, who is Benny Hill?

LOL! I have a shot of some of these from your garden five years back...just don't close your eyes!

lovely lighting

I'm guessing clematis. At hosepipe size they would indeed be dangerous but then again so are those last remaining pterodactyls still flying about snatching children in the parks.

This is beautiful - like green wires waiting to be hooked up it a light!
