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!
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!
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.

Lovely shot Andrea. I have never seen these spiders in my garden and I don't whether that is a bad or a good thing!!

Ohhhhhhhhh ... you make me long to be back in the PNW! Kansas is beautiful, but I don't think I've seen a single azalea yet. This lovely color and its happy inhabitant are a vision of "home!"

WOW; do you already have azalea in bloom OH WOW! Mine has still only little green buds. Beautiful shot with the white spider against this purple wonder.

On the hunt no doubt. I remember the last one you captured. It was feeding then. An outstanding image.

Looks like a monstrous translucent spider climbing mauve mountain ranges, Andrea. Awesome top notch capture of it all.

Spooky looking spider, great macro.

Nice shot. With time I notice they change their color to match the flower.
