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.

Wonderful capture as always, the quality never slips, great detail. I remember as a child fishing a pond where these were flying around in their masses, all different colours.. Red, White, Green, Yellow etc.. it was a sight to see, never seen it since. Great shot Andrea.

A superb capture! Their bodies look so angular at times don't they? With the limited joints along its body length. Are they on the Skunk cabbage leaves?

Thir bodies always remind me of native American bead work.

Great capture and colors. Wonderfully done

Seeing their contortions always makes me think of the Kama Sutra. I wonder if they have a similar study in their world? Excellent capture!

a tender moment beautifully caught

A really good hatching? So that's what they're calling it now. Quite acrobatic but then love is in the air so you do what you have to do. A superb pair of images. I completely agree with you on the composition of the second image. Brilliant work.
