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 was just wondering, whatever happened to your regular 3 posts per day ??? Herein lies the answer, aha ... Let's hope we will see your latest studio creation one fine day - bet you couldn't do 3 of those per day? only joking, I know better than that! ;) This little Bee has suddenly changed into a Super-bee, great macro image and thanks goes also to the elusive Sun :)) BB

Focus and color beyond what mortal man ever hopes to achieve in this shot of the handsome bee, busy with its daily chores, Andrea. And, Lordy, you finally got some sunshine.

What a lovely closeup, Andrea, and the sunlight is marvelous. The bee looks a bit thin, likely needs a good feed! I saw the first one of the year in my back garden yesterday, a big slow black bumble.

Did the natives cower in fear at the uncommon sight of a fiery ball in the sky? Were there animal sacrifices? Stellar capture of this little fellow hard at work. Super sharp detail.
