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.

What a gorgeously-showy lady this is. Well, I'm assuming it's a lady, but it's really hard to tell with those plant sorts of people! At any rate: gorgeous! I love the variations in the yellow and the really gorgeous texture of those petals. It's almost like a fireworks display, which is perfect for any sort of celebration, especially a birthday! Happy Birthday Tara!

When these went up, and I zoomed, my eyes popped out. It's beautiful. Full size, this is a big spilling floral fireworks show. The lines of the flowers, as they appear from back to front, make a dramatic 'spill'; and the flowers themselves are like dancers throwing their hands in the air. And such rich contrasts in the shot---esp between the yellows and oranges and reds. It's beautiful, and a wonderful gift for Tara's birthday. (I sent her something privately, as I just had to stop public dedis for a while.) It's like a big floral dance! Whoosh!
