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.

when you first posted this, I didn't see the flickr version: Both are equally beautiful. The light is splendid, and the contrasts are splendid too. Your filtering brings out the striations and veins and 'topography' of the leaves. And you have those 'colonies' again, which is one of your digital trademarks. A beautiful view of nature; and the background---with all those little cells of green and yellow and white, etc---is wonderfully rich and active. A living background.
The big chunk of red-brown---top left corner---is a fine balance to the bright hues elsewhere. Really well composed.
