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.

As Jeff said they are edible........but I always leave them to the side! With my very limited knowledge, I can't be sure they aren't Autumn Crocus!

I love these, especially the little spiky bits around the centers; mine are still blooming too, but probably not for long!

Among my top favorites. I planted a few seeds last spring, and had a lovely bunch of blooms, even up until we left a couple weeks ago! I hear it's rained all week, so they're probably gone now, but in my mind they're still blooming. :)

Very delicate looking in zoom!

Very pretty, Andrea. I have never seen them here. I once read that they are edible and can be placed in salads. I always wondered what they would taste like. :)

They are quite peppery, but much milder and prettier than the leaves
