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.

Got to gather pollen while the sun shines, no matter the season. Beautifully crisp and detailed shot of this brave shopper!

Marvellous!! Spring is just around the corner! :)

Honey bee on crocus? Sounds delicious. What do they put in the water over there? Your bees always look so fat and healthy. All we have over here are teeny tiny ones. Beautiful color and light although you seem to mostly get their backsides.

He's really dug in there giving it the bums rush, we have had a few sunny days recently but its only brought out the midges,

Marvelous macro of the busy bee performing its daily duties atop the lovely crocus, Andrea. Incredibly, we do have honey bees in my general area, not many, but at least they're around.
