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.

Our weather's been much like yours---warm, frosty, rainy, the whole gambit!! I love the winter colors; I still have roses blooming and some calendulas. No pond, but there's a creek that divides the flat part of my property from the hillside, so have a natural "water feature"!! Have 10 fruit trees that need pruning---one being a huge apple that'll probably take a week to get done. Then of course, there's weeding, fertilizing, mulching, heck, you know what needs doing!!
Happy new year and btw,, Love this latest collection!!
