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.

Brigadoon a place that is remote from reality, this image is as they say out of sight, so a fitting title Andrea.

A big bold splash of a shot, and, in full, it's just over-taking. Lush and simple---not a lot of petals in this variety---and it's beautiful with that big leaf in the background-center. I like how you postworked the background; and the stamens are so straight! Beautiful tilted capture, in shadow yet bright as could be. I have to stop here for now (I'm so slow!), but this is a great place to leave because it's an in your face beautiful shot. I'm amazed at how many types of flowers there are, and how many you've grown and captured over the years...
