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.

This little rose does look to have a very icy blanket. A lovely capture. Your weather sounds like ours is down here. :)

Poor rose. Outstanding detail on the ice crystals. This image reminded me that, a boy, there used to be orchards in Southern California. When the weather turned cold the farmers would put smudge pots, also known as a choofa or orchard heater, between the threes to keep them warm and prevent the fruit from freezing.

Beautiful crystal formations on the muted colors of the rose. Re wysiwg's comment: We still have smudge pots in our pear orchards here in southern Oregon, though every year more & more pear orchards are being replaced with vineyards for wineries & marijuana farms...

I love hoarfrost, but of course we don't get it down here. I'll enjoy yours! :)
