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.

This is a gorgeous shot but personally I don't like these streaky flowers.

ok you've seen the pics of snow in my city---can you imagine a flower like this growing here? now? I'm amazed you have growth at all, right now. In any case, this is a beautiful bloom, with almost painted-on strokes across it. And I like the centering of it, and the feeling that it's an iced dessert. A very sweet capture, and a very special flower. It really does look painted or designed... (btw, I've had several interruptions since coming here, which is half the reason why I've only left a few comments. 5 in our morning, and I've had 3 phone calls and a falling shelf...)
