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.

That's a truly impressive banana plant! The combination isn't often seen, yet! It will be everywhere next year after this post! I've just been chopping the leaves off mine. I've dug it up and potted it in a huge pot to bring it under cover for winter. I've tried wrapping them up and leaving them in the ground. It has never worked for me!

I love it, especially the big raindrops!

There's something about green and gray and white that pleases me SO much! Especially in the rain. There's an abundance of it in Western Washington, so maybe it's a "comfort" look ... something I've seen all my life. Beautiful!

Great shot, the rain adds that movement in the piece which adds to the overall composition to great effect with the lighting being key too.

You mean you didn't take the soap and have a free shower.
