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.

Oh so beautiful always a favorite flower of mine. We can't grow orchids here, but can do roses, in the Summer months !

And now we are treated to another episode of Extreme Close Up Theatre. I love it. I see an upper lip and a tongue stuck out at us. Cheeky flower. Two very beautiful captures. The only way we see orchids around here is in a hothouse at an arboretum.

Lovely shot. Looking into an orchid almost seems rude to me!

It seems like we're looking down her throat! What a beauty she is!

When I see blossoms like these on a woman's arm or on her shoulder, I imagine some alien creature ready to pounce and take over her mind.... Great capture

This is so beautiful. I had one that came again every year, but now I think it is gone for good. Still have the plant though.....or not.. I got three. Two old and a new, but I lost one a few weeks ago and I am not sure which one of them it was, as only the new is blooming and if I get no flowers on the olds this time, ill toss them.
