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.

Nice one Andrea. My garden is very soggy too. The daffs are almost in flower and there is a single white snap dragon out.

I love the brilliant pink color on these flowers. I wonder if she will get any takers for her pollen this time of year?

Beautiful! I think right now it would die here in Phoenix since we are having some frost in the outlying areas!

Wonderful flower. Excellent capture! :-)

IN zoom, it's almost like a painting. The textures are quite sensual, and the hidden yellows (in the center) are mysterious and cavern-y. A sensual beautiful capture.

Isn't it amazing to see so much beautiful flowers in bloom this time of the year, Andrea? And this one is so lovely, and appealing, also by your POV! It's that strange, here in the north of the country, it is very slippery, all full of ice and snow, schools were closed, public transport is down, and people skating in the streets, but with us in the south it is 10 degrees. But I, with the flu am terribly cold, so I now wear your warm sweaters, thank you again, Andrea!!!.
