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.

Wowie, this is breathtaking! The colour is stunning, the tiny dewdrops/raindrops on the petals are exquisite, and the focus and clarity are spot on! Well done!

I love that pale peach color, and it looks fantastic with the hydrangeas. Such a nice, old-fashioned combination. Lovely!

How do you know all these flower names??? And their habitats and variations, etc. (I don't know ANY of that!) This shot is like a chilled dessert. It's edible. The water droplets make it seem like it came from a very fresh fruit bowl (or a very fresh-ingredient punch). The blooms in the background---left---are little echoes of this flower, even though I'm not sure they're anywhere near the same flower. But the rose is a chilled fragile hidden treasure, ready to open. Zoomed it's quite imposing. A very magical shot. Delicious to look at...
