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.

Interesting that the color stripes match the non-poisonous snake pattern vs. its' poisonous coral snake cousin which is "red-yellow" - (key rhyme "kill a-fellow")... we have both here in Florida so I yied the right-away in either case ASAP as too close to call! - Nature nerver siezes to amaze... The modern nickname for this species is "snake feeder"... I'll take the lovely Damselflies or Dragonflies over the snakes any day! - Great Capture!!!
