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.

Who needs webs? I would spend hours watching these if they lived in my garden. Cracking shot!

TERRIBLE SHOT

Great macro of the crab spider, preparing its prey for a sumptuous repast. One would think that the fly would keep a great distance from what appears to be a predator, that could really ruin its day. I like the mushroom the spider is toting on its back.

Nature in the raw , Great shot.

A stunning shot but I have to say these spiders are beginning to creep me out.

Oh yum yum, dinner for one. You certainly spot the ones we all miss by not looking.
