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.

You may notice the pond has a temporary fence of chicken wire, for today I acquired a new rescue dog! Pictures to follow of course.

It may not be the largest or even the most diverse but I think your garden is a national treasure. Can't wait to see the new member of the family.

Andrea, I absolutely adore your garden, when ever the time is of the the year. I admire your skills for keeping your garden so beautifully. (LUV the crocuses) WOW! You took a new doggie? OH MY! I admire you for that too. Looking forward to see the new pack member :)

Good job, fencing Tiffany out of the pond! Mandy would go after squirrels and cats, but frogs and toads might be a bit tempting as well!
