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.

I had to google this, I had no idea it had so many uses! Perhaps it something beneficial for the snails. Nice close up shot.

this is such a wild collection of shapes, textures, lights and shadows...it's like a sea of varied forms. Again, it could be in a very large botanical garden, because of the way you've shot it. It feels huge. And catching all this with that big broad leaf and stem in front brings real balance to the tiny buds all around and behind it. The shot feels deep and huge, even though it's probably a small area. Wonderful work once more, it's a big, big array...I love it. (Btw, you what they call these when they grow in Texas? Angelica Houston.) (you read my comments, you gotta handle my piss-poor jokes...)
