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.

What a treat to see! I think it is Cornus kousa with the single whitish/green flower? Striking in it's simplicity. The Crinodendron red lanterns always a delight! You have dragons and damsels on roses and osteospermums. You should have guests paying to photograph your wildlife alone never mind the floral collections. I look forward to this monthly calendar of fauna and flora, always you have surprises!

Glorious! And Fritz as a bonus ;D

Wow! Your garden in all its glory! What a lot of work this must be - you sure have a garden to be proud of, Andrea. I hope your town has a "yard of the month" club and that you have been given the honor... you deserve it!! So nice to see Fritz taking a stroll, and is that dogwood at the top? I didn't know it grew there!

An exquisite montage Andrea - maybe the best so far. Did Frits give it a thumbs up? Love that delicate flower just below the red lanterns.
