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.

Never quite figured out how you tickle someone pink. I imagine you could have a shelf full of awards if you chose to compete. These two are gorgeous.

I can't tell you how many times, in discussing flowers with Helle, I've said "how in the world did Andrea learn all she knows about plants???" (I haven't learned 99% of the species out there.) This is a splendid rose shot, the two couldn't make a better pair, and the capture of the delicate voluminous petal array---in both flowers---is splendid. You may know it, but "rose" comes from the same root as the Sanskrit "rishi"---a seer. The idea being that the rose has a "wise, splendid nectar," just as a seer does. So there's connection with wisdom. Love the deep shadows here too, and the deep green of the leaves. A splendid shot.
