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.

A big lush image for Helle, your light, here, is beautiful: You got a muted purple-amber tone, with bits of silver and gold (very subtle). The surfaces and textures are creamy and rich, and the petals surge and plunge. It's a terrific flower image, Andrea; and with your words "o talented one," you made a perfect dedi for Helle. I read comments in her gallery, and I see how you love her work, and seem endlessly inspired by her. Given your inspiration, it's great to see how you light up to her creations. A terrific dedi...and Happy Birthday Helle, and many more. And I hope your next year is wonderful. (I just remembered: Is it 70? God---did I forget that??? I remember you saying something about it, right? Well, I'll mention it in a future upload if I'm right...I'm nearly that age myself...) Terrific dedi, Andrea. One of your truly beautiful flower shots for our dear and way talented friend...
(I'll get to other images in you gallery soon, Andrea. Sometime the coming week!)

OH WOW! It is so beautiful and I love Orchids very much... This has such a soft, warm and comforting feeling like in low light. I really love this. You really made it look cozy. Thank you so very much, dear Andrea. :-)
