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!Â
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! Â
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.

Well, now you are putting us on. If this is January's garden why does it look like April or May? A wonderful collection with gorgeous colors.

I just saw quite a few of these blooming at the arboretum winter garden yesterday. It smelled heavenly there, does yours?

What an unbelievable amount of colour! Superb shots and a treat for any gardener to see in January. The diversity of your Camelias is enough to make everyone want at least one!

I zoomed and this is lovely. If you asked me to eliminate one photo - I could not select one. Everything is so pretty - even Ralphie and the wonderful reflection!
