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.

Well a couple of people noticed the "visitor" behind one of the petals (that insect). Didn't wanna have his picture taken, I guess...Well, I move from the bizarre underworld image of that Wet Path, to this lush quiet and inward flower. Your light makes it a quiet conversation in a dark chamber. The light emanating from the the flower feels private, as a result. One-on-one...And the softness of your light makes it feel like a cashmere creature in its private domicile. Beautifully done, with just hints of a background---chalky dark green leaves, whispering through the dark...
