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!Â
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! Â
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.

Very rich, lush colors & composition - beautiful. I especially like those curly green parts with hairs at the end of the stem. I imagine those have a name that botanists use, but I have no idea what it is...

What a stunning and unique POV! It does look like an elder telling the young ones about the hard times. "Tell us about the blitz, grandma." "Well, children, there they was, 'undreds of'em, grey and slimy. They took me 'usband first. Then the air force attacked. The birds et until they could barely fly. After that it was the infantry. The frogs and ground beetles nearly finished them off. We lost so many good sunflowers that season. But they didn't get me." Or so I imagine.
