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.

Beautiful Andrea. Do these make the sound like the ones we have?

Another wonderful find and capture, I have seen different species of these in my garden, the larger one's can give you a bit of a nip if you handle them with bare hands.. can draw blood.

Good laud, antennae that won't quit! Sterling macro of the cricket, carefully negotiating its way through the massive petals, A.

These frequently come in my house during inclement weather much to my mums disgust. If I didn't liberate them after the bad weather, she'd kill them no questions asked. I hate that people do that, mostly out of fear, when in reality, they are far more afraid of us.

Superb capture of this cute little guy. They are supposed to be good luck. Of course you can have too much of a good thing like the bathtub full of crickets I encountered in Bali.
