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.

this can be enjoyed on two levels: The smaller view (display) shows the beautiful shapes and hues, whereas the zoomed view shows your sensual "brushstrokes" on these beauties. The latter feels like a bunch of desserts, like something made out of fruited ice creams. It's beautiful. I really liked the flickr too, though it looked like it had some digifiddling too---which is fine, because it's beautiful. Zoomed, this is a creamy, lush, pink-peppermint desert, and your dark background is a perfect foil for it. I also love what you did with the leaves: They're colonies and topographical maps of countrysides. It's a glorious splash, Andrea, a terrific wake-up for me (I woke up about an hour ago)...whoosh!

Beautiful, both real and postworked. I remember mom tried desperately to grow them, but they wouldn't grow here. Lovely.

I really love this shot and what you did to it. It would be good for a painting this way.
