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 love this! We got to roam through a dahlia garden on Saturday. SO enjoyable! I'm sure you'll be seeing dahlia pics from all of us soon. LOL! :P

Oh, this is really beautiful! And even I could have named this bloom without being told:-) That's a first. But as Tara has said, we just walked through a public Dahlia garden two days ago. Will be putting my entry into the gallery soon.

It's a stunner! Do they do well in tubs then? Perhaps I'll give them a go next year if so, do you need to stake them up?
