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.

Excellent shot, you got a nice angle to the light here Andrea. You little quote reminded me of another to do with flowers Even a man that is pure in heart And says his prayers at night Will become a wolf, when the wolf-bane blooms And the moon is full and bright.

This is glorious in the sunlight! Those buds are very hairy aren't they! They are amazing little bushes! Are they as hairy in mid summer? I cannot remember blooms I have photographed this hairy!

A real pleasure for the eyes!

Yes, they certainly needs a zoom to get all the wonderful details. Absolutely delightful.

Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.

Pretty, hairy and prickly (like some women I've known). Too bad they are such an invasive pest. You captured some wonderful light.

I like these very much; they certainly are befuzzed! Lovely bright colour and a wonderful capture.
