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.

I always love these monthly garden montages. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful yard with us in this way.

I love your monthly garden montages, especially when they're dripping with wisteria! I love the smell of wisteria (and milkweed!) You live among such vivid, relaxing colors and I can imagine just how alive everything is, including the staff keeping the ecological balance (I'm sure that with it being spring and all, the woodlice and little beetle-sorts-of-people are immensely busy tweaking the soil). This is a perfect collage/montage. Your garden world is endlessly beautiful and fascinating.

How glorious that all looks in full bloom! Wonder if there are fish in the pond? I know it must be a lot of work and it looks wonderful, especially in zoom view. Well done and well worth the effort!

It just has to be seen in full size, Andrea, and well for a long, long time! It's making me speechless. What an unlikely beauty of colors, overwhelming, and so the ultimate in all its varieties. What would I like to perceive all those odors.. Congratulations, Andrea, it's been a fantastic presentation too.

Just too beautiful for words!

It's looking as beautiful as ever and never fails to delight the eye. We found a wonderful nursery in a walled garden in the Quantocks, they had some Geranium maderense: and as the lady over the road has one I decided to give it another go.
