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.

Blaaa! Big nose, big tongue, beautiful flower, although you might want to see a doctor about those spots. You capture these wonderfully well.

well if you don't know the variety, I sure don't! In zoom, it's like a big luscious iced dessert---such lush textures on the front petal, or it's like a plush throw rug. And the rest of the shot is sensual and soft, and makes a dream background for it. Your flickr version is a terrific abstract painting in feel, with whites of all kinds illuminating it. A terrific pair of shots. I like them both equally.
