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.

The very definition of an ‘Attractive Nuisance’. First thorns and now nettles. We are prickly this weekend.

Well yes, but I tell you, that I cannot turn in my garden, without finding one sticking its leaves up, so you are not alone :) You want pictures of them? I can upload 365 days a year.

Aw be careful Andrea !
They are a awful nuisance with a mega sting.
I sure hope these aren't the kind that throw nettles as you walk by, thats brutal.
