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.

My first reaction was OH WOW! My second was "I didn't know spiders knew how to knit." This is gorgeous, a great find.

My first thought was how utterly beautiful, my next thought, that it looked like an upside down big top circus tent, then, poor spider, I wonder if he died. 15 minutes later and I now know that some spiders die in winter, some hibernate, and some kind of, sort of hibernate. Also if you take moss inside lots of little spiders may run out of it. That's important to know. And that about a year ago a 140-million-year-old spider web was found in a piece of amber. I'm a bit too easily distracted. Beautiful capture! Excellent detail. I like the randomness of the design.
