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.

OH MY!! What a fantastic animal. Have never seen anything like this and I am sure he must be friendly, because the creator is you :-) I love that guy. He is a proof of your creativity, which is in top form. Thank you so much for this wonderful little animal. I love it :-))))))))))))))

He looks quite friendly to me! Anything with eyestalks has to be good. :) I love the bright, sunny mood ... I bet he brings sunshine wherever he goes!

Don't know what to make of this. Perhaps related to a Phasmid leaf insect? A very creative gift for Helle and a worthy guardian for any garden.

Say, didn't Helle just have a birthday recently? I know anahata.c did something for her in that respect. In any case, I detect all kinds of suggestive images within the structure of this highly imaginative esoteric creature, Andrea.

Splendid Creature! But of course it is friendly, I can tell by the set of his antennae, and from his back feet! His claws are retracted, and that shows he has no evil intent! A marvelous job with this creature!
