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.

I still have trouble processing the concept of 'winter flowers'. This is wonderful. The detail is excellent. You can see a silken spider's thread in the center.

Fab shots, Andrea

Absolutely wonderful, Andrea. Hard to write with an over afffectionate cat on my lab. He has just eaten and says thanks for the dinner.

I love hellebore, and miss seeing them! We have roses blooming in Texas all winter while the hellebore is in full bloom up north, and by the time we get back to Washington, they're over and gone. Thanks for this ... it's lovely!

both pics are beautiful. THe flickr version has light from behind, and it's jewel-like. This is softer, more intimate; and, in full view, it's like velvet. The pov---with the hellebore looking down a bit---is very expressive. And as always your background work is blurby and bubbly and works seamlessly with the flower. Both beautiful images.
(There's a Helle pun in "hellebore".)

I love Hellebore, and we bought some dark red ones, as this kind all went away (dead or something, LOL). A most lovely picture, Andrea, what does justice to it.
