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, I love the vibrant colour of the marigold and the green of the bush cricket, one of those I found in the lounge on the wall four days ago, I did take a quick snap before putting him out in the back garden... obviously must have got through the open window.

The contrast in colour almost hurts the eyes.

I agree ... the colors are wonderful! I just looked at all my flowers, and found nary a visitor of this sort. (I did see a pale crab spider on the heliotrope yesterday, but didn't have my camera handy. I gave a passing thought to the idea that it might turn purple eventually, but that was the extent of my critter viewing!)

Love collection of colors. And the Unicorn cricket is probably thinking, "Pale English woman with camera."

Now that is a great shot and the colors are perfect! I have no familiarity with crickets but that antenna is something else!
