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.

It's got a lovely pattern in the middle bit, gorgeous bright colour, and a perky stance; hopefully it will survive!

What a beautiful flower, the star of the show. I notice the supporting players are all looking stage right (their right, not mine).

This is like a wonderful bit of summer sunshine in the middle of a dreary week! Beautiful!

I hope people zoomed---it's huuuuge! The star flower is a big burst in our eyes, and the stamen section feels almost painted on. Then you postworked the rest into blobs and colonies, with luminous and dark greens, alternately; and with beautiful yellow paint-strokes for petals, on the left-side flowers. A fine contrast between photographed and manipulated; the flowers here really burst!
