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.

denise called it "bloomery"---gotta love her way with words! And yes, it is an 'astonishing array of bloomery'. How'd you get so many healthy flowers at the end of Dec??? We have maybe a few leaves...A collection of beautiful shots, it must've taken time to crop and match all these---this is huge. It's really beautiful, an alternate to a calendar. (It would've been great if you got each flower to 'sign' their pictures. "Best of luck, Al...") A wonderful addition to your garden series.

What an amazing garden, such beauty and diversity. One could be forgiven if they assumed you lived 'down under'.

What a stunning array of blooms this is! I realize they're just here and there, but still ... it must be like a wonderful treasure hunt to go through your garden at this time of year and find so much still in bloom!
