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 don't think she's going to have to wait to long I see her partner on the left.

More like Circ du Soleil. Inverted and with her legs spread wide as if to say "Taa-Daaaa!" She seems to have chased off the ants. Another unbelievable capture.

Oh Andrea! what a fabulous capture! I've only seen these beauties at the Hollow, and only gotten a couple of shots. Elusive little beauties, they hide so well, and are very shy when it comes to be photographed. I've given up a few times because they just keep hiding as I try to move the camera in position!
