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.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

I think our former Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands would approve of this little beauty. Thanks for sharing.

What a gorgeous bloom. Somewhere for earwigs to hide I suppose.

Super photo.

I remember her from previous posts. We have a cousin of hers growing at the entrance to our complex but she rarely produces such spectacular blooms. A really lovely image with superb detail.

Nice colors and drops :)

Very beautiful.

Great shot of a more usual Camelia colour, to me anyway. I suppose the bush's upright habit is more unusual from a collector's POV?

She's a real beauty, fresh and perfect!

Gorgeous! I love the intense pink color: such a perfect antidote to the grayness that's gripped the Midwestern USA for so long; apparently warm weather is coming. So I hear. In fact, I heard that just today (and with a Czech accent, no less! YAY! I found Czech people!) I can easily see a garden full of these beauties! Such wonderful details! This is a superb shot. It's so elegant.

Picture perfect right down to the tiny veining! Lovely color too!
