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.

I love his beautiful green coloring, especially against that yummy peach rose. It looks like he's just climbed out and is off on a grand adventure, with one brief pose for the camera crew before he leaves. :)

He looks like an alien invader from a 1950's sci-fi movie. Fine shot & a creative crop...

Wonderful timing and great capture of this little green visitor. He looks so tiny and yet very brave as he is crossing across the petals. What a long anntena this cricket has,and his name really suits him well.

Jimminy Cricket! Excellent macro of the green insect, enveloped within the folds of the beautiful petals. And, what long antennae on that cricket nymph, Andrea!
Katraz
It looks like a nice rose and Mr Jimmy cricket seems to like it too, just one question what do crickets eat.
