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.

An exquisite capture Andrea! I think that the wings can be seen inside the chrysalis. Beautiful "birth" photo on FlickR. I also noticed your 'reflection' self portrait on FlickR. So Nice!!! I still can't comment over there. I am going to have to delete myself and register from scratch.

I used to find these all the time when I was a kid; I can't remember the last time I saw one, but it's been many decades! Wonderful find and capture!

Awesome.. and the moth looks much like the one I took shots of last summer.

Outstanding portrait of the pupa, Andrea, and interesting how you played obstetrician and surgeon in the case of this simple life form.

Well, Andrea, now you've outdone yourself. I have never heard of such a thing outside of scientific experiments. Both images are stunning. So, now that you are a new moth-er, does the little one follow you around?

Not only a very cool caputre Andrea, but love that you linked so I could see who hatched out of the pupa!

Always a great moment see them hatching. You are such a great person for this small creatures - there will be a shrine somewhere in a secret corner in your garden where they all pray for you :)
