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.

A nice tight shot of this tiny arachnid whatever kind it may be.

You disturbed the composure of this tiny innocuous creature? Surely, there must be some way of making amends. In any case, sterling clarity and texture in this macro.

A lovely photo and you want to stay on her good side!

And here she thought she'd found a stable home at last; life can be so cruel. Wonderful shot, Andrea!

Just when you've finished setting up housekeeping, along comes the landlady and wants you to move. Nice and sharp, probably like her fangs. She doesn't look very benign.

What a find :)

Oh poor thing, to be disturbed like this in one's own house! Nice shot Andrea.

It looks like her purse was torn! How sad! Gorgeous shot, however, and she doesn't seen too disturbed as her legs are still in the "at rest" position. Whatever the species, it's a handsome one. The shape makes me think of the common house spiders that dwell...in houses, but the color and web location is something totally different. And I love the nice, green fabric of your sun umbrella.
