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, Wow, Wow.
You did a wonderful job, one by one must of taken a little bit of time.
Each one of them are so pretty but collage is very striking to say the least.
The mix of these must be a beautiful addition to your flower garden Andrea.
Thanks for sharing.

We all benefit from your obsession. :) They are all extremely beautiful. I would love to see the name of the one on the 5th row down most right-hand side (delicate pink shade on white). Thanks for posting.

OMG. How could anyone pick a favorite from all of these? Of course I like the ones that lean toward the more apricot tones, but gosh ... they're all so pretty! A glorious result of your gentle obsession.

(once again, the comic in me: You said "If anyone wants the name of any of them"...Mail a list that says: "Bill, Sam, Edna, Frieda, Garth, the Gleason twins, Froda...") Ok. Somewhere you said you weren't crazy about Warhol. I have troubles with him too. But one thing he did was say we don't have to do 'one' picture: We can do a series, and let them all comment on each other. Or be variations on each other. This is a series of lush variations, and I luuuuuv the impact. OCD, maybe, but what are artists if not obsessive? I love the sequence of hues and also of light and dark (some are in real shadow), and the lush presence of each one, and the feeling of a huge warhol-like presentation of them all. I love this. I really have to move on---I haven't done your bottles yet, or your plants in the house, or the many great dog shots, there's so much---but I'm back for less than a day. But I had to do this: This was a terrific upload. Great stuff, Andrea, I'll do more the next time, when I'll have days rather than hours. A great stretch of wonderful images...
