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 and your so lucky, I live in high desert and the growing season is so short I gave up until I get a green house.

A real joy as always ! The maurelii looks huge! I do envy your climate, I have 3 different bananas, glauca , sikkimensis "red tiger" from seed and a maurelii bought as a plant. They do seem hard work up in Lincolnshire. Lifting and potting up every autumn! Do you leave them out? I love the purple aeonium too!

I leave Musa basho in the ground, she has been there ten years or more and makes new babies every year. This red one is in a huge pot and my brother helps me move it into the greenhouse every year!

Wow what a beautiful collage Andrea. Your flower garden is gorgeous. We are in a world of hurt=== howling winds and blowing snow here as I write this out. Hopefully it won't stay this time around-- seems to early for Winter to settle in.
