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 haven't seen these before.

Very interesting little flowers. I have never seen them before. I'm sure the butterflies and hover flies won't miss the wasps.

You were the first person to show these to me, and when I saw them for myself the first time, I was astonished that I hadn't noticed them before. I was going to tell you we had a different sort of ivy, because I didn't remember ever smelling them, but then I had one of those "ah-ha" moments, and realized that the scent I have tried to identify all around our local library at certain times of the year must be the ivy blooming! It's so much a part of the background, that when I smelled a sweet, sweet flower scent, I looked for something exotic in bloom, never thinking to check the ivy.
My life is much richer for having you in it! :)
