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.

Wow what a "Handle" !
Never have seen the likes of this before Andrea.
Thanks for sharing the pics of this super nova plant.
Question-- Now what-- inside--outside-- doesn't look edible from here-- but it does remind me of a old girdle though.
Smiles.

it's freakin' ginormous! In feel, presence! In full zoom, there's your background postwork---you make these two worlds work seamlessly together. The stuff in the pot is a big mass of clumpy hues and measle-y things. Love the background. And the leaf? You cropped it to let it take over the whole shot. And those white dots (you can see my lack of botanical knowledge), they'd be creepy if it weren't that they look like powdered sugar. Love the boldness of this, it's in our face. Ba-boom! Take that, humanoids. Try 'n get a look like this...

Oh my lord, this looks like some odd sea creature. Nice capture.

Yes, exactly what I was going to say!! VERY trippy plant, I'd love to find one for myself. I'll have to attempt to copy the name and see if I can find one. How long did it take to get to this size? (and does it have a nickname, like "very weird, cool, amazing plant????)
