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.

Despite it's foul scent and invasive behaviour, I am rather fond of Ragwort. I think it goes back to child hood, with the urban legend that if one touched them it would cause bed wetting. I of course firmly believed in this as did many other small children, so they were never touched. Now as an adult, I as mentioned earlier have a fondness for them, and they make an excellent close-up subject too.

A really beautiful bunch of wild flowers. Love them.!

Lovely shot, the river Stour has been a first class course fishing river for so many years, as a kid I remember it well, looks like the fellow in that other shot has had a successful day as the keep-nets are out.. two no less.. maybe one has a few bottles of the best in it keeping them cold. You have captured the beauty of the river at summer.

Beautiful shot. I like the yellow flowers in the foreground, it's like you can discover a world just turning around of a bush :-)

Does the 'happy' fisherman on the other bank qualify as a 'random man'? :>) It is a lovely area Andrea and a very tranquil feeling from your capture!

Lovely to look at and food for the Cinnabar moth caterpillar but poison to cattle and horses.
