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.

Well, I didn't know pondskaters ate flies until now! Excellent capture Andrea - the lighting is lovely and I really like the addition of the water-snail!

Brilliant I love the way you've caught the water surface.

Great capture the water snail is looking for crumbs?

Nature, red in tooth and claw, no matter the species. Remarkable how the Pond Skaters employ surface tension to avoid sinking below. Stellar shot of this feeding frenzy, A.

I haven't seen these since I was a boy. Outstanding capture. Its a wonder they don't eat each other.
