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.

Beautiful. I was looking at my father's World War II photo album last night so maybe that's the reason but your title immediately made me think of the song by the Andrew Sisters.
I'll be with you in apple blossom time I'll be with you to change your name to mine One day in May, I'll come and say Happy the bride that the sun shines on today

We have a couple of crab apple trees and they have little white flower blossoms.

The angle of the shot makes it very special, as it tilts as if to present itself to us graciously. Beautiful light on the center, and beautiful dark petals around the center. With dappled background acting as the 'canvas' against which it poses for you. A very full flower shot, with a beautiful pov and crop. I photograph flowers so character-lessly, I should learn from shots like this. I just can't make a flower sing with the camera---they're plain, expressionless. Yours are always lush and expressive. You just 'have' it with flowers.
