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.

Very nice capture Andrea. I also made a similar photo and asked me what it is. Now i know it, so thank you for the information.

Beautiful closeup! They look like they would be perfect in a vase with other autumn plants.

I have seen these but didn't know what they were; lovely bit of dried veg!

I don't know that I've ever seen a tulip gone to seed. This is fascinating, so I'm glad you missed a few!

Add me to the list of those who have never seen one of these. I like the details, the little hairs, the ribs(?). If this was the 17th century you'd be sitting on a fortune.
