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.

Andrea, the Friend of Frogs. It is an honorable title. Great capture, and I'm glad you gave this frog a good meal.

Your garden is such a treat - no wonder your camera is always at hand! Clive

What an absolutely marvelous picture! To think the frog didn't run, stayed around for High Tea, and didn't abscond immediately! A well mannered Frog, considering it stayed for the Photo Op! Frogs and toads don't do well here, everyone uses chemicals on their lawns. They have a service that comes to apply the appropriate chemicals and fertilizers at the right times. Pretty much annihilates the amphibian types and any other sensitive critters. Except slugs. Sigh.
