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.

some need the touch test

Certainly are very realistic! I know someone who has a totally artificial bedding plants display! He says it saves watering real bedding plants. They cost a fortune though!

Call me old fashioned but I still like the real ones better!

I've been known to touch them just to make sure. And, of course, you miss the fragrance.

they look like real flowers indeed but they collect dust only and dont smell, real flowers are wonders 😊

I can see why, they are pretty.

They look amazingly real. I remember plastic flowers from ... oh ... must have been the 1950s and 1960s. They've certainly improved!!

They look impressive

The touch and smell test, only when they are presented in good taste and perfect setting.
Nothing can beat the real thing ~

I was always tempted to do a display at a flower show to see if the judges will notice.
