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.

Gorgeous and you have given it all the justice it deserves. I like the overhead image just as well.

Stunning bloom Andrea! You can go on forever potting stuff up. Then you have to start throwing or giving away plants. As you run out of room to keep them all in bigger pots. Or build another greenhouse to provide accommodation and heat for them all! I take too many cuttings of everything, it has to stop!!! So has buying plants!!! Maybe a New year resolution for 2016, so I can do a few more until then?
