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.

Gorgeous, I love the pink ones! Maybe I'll buy some and surreptiously plant them at Juanita Bay and hope that they'll settle in and spread :D

Lilly is looking quite fetching. Sometimes they thrive best when we leave them alone.

Beautiful! I love your water lilies. A year or two ago, it seems, I painted one of them, and it gave me an intimate relationship with what's growing in your pond. Seeing this makes me feel like I'm visiting an old and well-loved friend!

Stunning capture Andrea. God bless.

Very striking bloom it is too! I think it is a real show stopper! I was totally mis-sold the waterlily that is in my tiny wildlife pond (2.5 m x 1.5m). I was told the white variety was a "dwarf", suitable for such a small pond. It is a vampant monster that is trying to escape into the garden!! I have cut tons of pads off it as it covered every square inch of the surface after two years. It's days are numbered if I can get it out! The garden centre I bought it from has gone since as well.
