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.

Amazing how they pack all that into a small space eh? I have seen this only once in my lifetime, and didn't have a camera with me, the abdomen and wings are all crumpled up. Then they begin to pump the blood around the body, amazing how they get their legs out of the exuvia

the scene had me a bit confused until I saw the other image. You are very lucky to get these shots

I look upon with extreme envy at this exquisite macro of the goggle-eyed insect scaling the multi green-shaded floral stalk, Andrea.

Stellar capture. If you had not explained it I would have thought she had a maid helping to carry her wings.

Both photos are stunning captures Andrea. You are always in the right spot - at the right time. An exceptional photo of Rosie napping over on FlickR.
