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.

if I were to show my mom's October Garden right now, it would be mostly under water due to the heavy rains we're having great captures Andrea

Your garden is an endless wonder and I love the way it all comes together. I bet it smells fantastic after a rain, what with all of those plant things and little arthropod people following their various agendas and such. I know that I could spend hours photographing virtually every square millimeter of your garden; it's such a delight! This is definitely something to see on full zoom! So much detail...the colors are sumptuous!

Your garden looks so different in every season, it gives the impression that you have acres and acres of property. Beautiful! I'll be happy to look at the flowers, as well. Always a joy!

Wonderful collection of shots, the garden is as lovely as ever, so natural as it should be but under control. Tree's and shrubs really help so much if the space is available... going up is a good idea even in a smaller garden.

An amazing montage even without so many flowers. Bournemouth must be a highly oxygenated place. Can't figure out what that blue object is. It looks a little bit like a toy car.

I agree with Chipka if we Renderosity photographers are there with our cameras we will be busy for hours. Amazing captures and collage. God bless.
