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!
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!
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 like the rich colors with the pale wings to set it all off. The creatures in your garden seem to land on those plants which show them off to best advantage!

Excellent shot Andrea. I am still trying to get an Inula hookeri from a local garden centre. I have been told to fill in a plant request form early next spring now. So maybe next year!

First class capture Andrea, nice contrast here and I have to say this is better quality than some work captured on a slr with macros lenses costing £300/£400.. well done.

When I read the title I expected to see a small White Shark being hauled in by an Asiatic Indian fisherman. Otherwise, everything top notch photographically in this macro of the butterfly and bloom combination, A.

Lovely image!

What a pretty pair they make. Just as humans wear flowers in their hair this flower appears to be wearing a butterfly.

A spectacular zoom to see the details in the butterfly and the delicate petals of the bright yellow flower!
