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.

Your garden is stunning Andrea. Everything around here is under deep snow, and last night the temp was down to -42C, and that is before factoring the wind chill. Needless to say, no plants are still blooming around here.

Great to see the "sulphur heart" as I've known it, taking centre stage! The bugs do love those flowers, don't they! The rest is a delight too, the basjoo, acers and bamboo such strong plants visually and structurally.Always a joy!

My mental image of ivy is sorely lacking! I never would have guessed that beautiful plant with the elongated and bi-colored leaves was an ivy. A gorgeous centerpiece for November's collection!
