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.

I believe this is my favorite plant in your garden. The color is glorious! I love how it fades from those gorgeous dark edges into the pale lemon center. Thank you! :)

I can't believe I didn't comment on this---I thought I'd commented on tara's dedis, but I see, this week, that I didn't comment on one. Well, happy birthday tara, even though you're not reading this! In full zoom, it's a big dessert. In screen size (about 2/3 size, to fit my 27 inch monitor) it's a sensual almost leathery thing. It has such amazing texture on all its petals. And because of your darkened background, it seems to be floating in space. You got the hues, and I love the contrasts between that deep yellow and those beautiful tomato-pink reds. A lush primal capture for Tara's birthday.
