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.

The yellow one is best but this one is beautiful too.

Love this flower!!!

I have to wonder if Hazel is ever offended by being called a witch. I agree with Mike, definitely a pair of eyes staring at us. Those petals look like the red tortilla strips one finds on Mexican salads. And 65 years is quite impressive. Must have something to do with the gardener.

Awesome captures, love both these!

Marvelous, Andrea! I love both, but more this one. Look like if they were persons and the colors are impressive.

Very medicinal plant the witch hazel. I never knew they came in different colours, you learn something new every day as the saying goes.

A superb shot! The selective DOF/postwork is very effective! The red ribbons version is very eye catching indeed! I see the resemblance so much to my Loropetelum " firedance" shrub.
