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 stellar macro of the army of single-minded Aphids, as they travel north upon the snowy Ables, Andrea.

Great shot Andrea but I was being thick and It took me awhile to see what they were walking on.

Awesome shot Andrea! :)

Excellent capture, but I'd be itching and creeping seeing these all over the place. What eats them, if anything?

All three images are outstanding. I never knew aphids could grow this large.

Just the macro of these green trees alone was worthy of posting! Great aphids, even if they are bow-legged, lol.

A fascinating capture, it proves there is so much going on in our garden's and often we are not always aware of it until we look much closer, even at ground level is another world unfolding.

Horrid things, but none the less a good close-up subject.
