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!Â
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! Â
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.

Spectacular beyond anything I can say, Andrea! And, what did one hoverfly say to the other hoverfly? "You should see the egg marmalade!"

Great capture Andrea. I can see where the name comes from on this one. Its not always so obvious. :)

A wonderful capture of this Marmalade Hoverfly Andrea and even better in zoom but to me the Clematis is the star in this shot. Fantastic details in both!!!

WOW! What a sensual photograph! I also love that hoverfly! This is stunning, superb, and your capture/use of light. This is marvelous, simply gorgeous, and the color just pops from my screen.
