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.

Stunning shot Andrea! It is great to see so many butterflies again. We counted over 20 Red Admirals on one clump of Hemp Agrimony at the reserve. It seemed far more popular than the Buddleias!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice to see a Red Admiral for a change, i am swamped by Peacocks as you might have noticed, not that i'm complaining. Ilike the way you give equal space to Buddliaj and butterfly

GREAT IMAGE

The title implies a Soviet fleet commander upon an Asiatic Indian religious figure. Another masterful capture of an insect upon a bloom to add to your already capacious file of such fotos, Andrea.

Having a refreshing snack while it waits for the fleet to come in. Excellent separation from the background and wonderful detail.
