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 is a shot that should be seen small, then in mid-zoom, and then in full zoom: it becomes a different picture each time. In small, it's a delicate, sensual bloom in the midst of a sea of dark greens, with that second flower above it, looking on. In mid-zoom, it's the same, but we see your postwork emerge---delicate, but more active. In full zoom, the flowers are still delicate and sensual, but your leaves suddenly pop out as active layered affairs, with all kinds of overlays and subtle gradations in greens, browns and yellows. 3 uploads in one! I love the postwork, Andrea; and the shot by itself is delicate. Amazing how you cultivate and know so many species. (In Claude's gallery, you spoke of "Parthenocissus" ((which I proceeded to riff on)), and I realized I don't know anything compared to you! And then you go out and you get the seeds, and you cultivate these things. It's all beyond me!)
