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.

Very interesting image! Excellent capture! :)

Superb shot! I like the idea of training molluscs to eat weeds! What a timesaver that would be for every gardener.

Really amazing to see that :)

Nice shot , the only problem with slugs is they always head for your prize plants.

Great find. I see them on the beach quite a bit.

Wonderful lighting and texture in this superb macro, Andrea. There is absolutely nothing like those in my vast general area.

Blimey. When my honey sees this, she'll think of her flying snails game again hehe!

They are rather attractive. You do find the most interesting things. Wonderful macro.

Fascinating! I don't know that I would have been able to identify them. Great shot!

Well, that is really bizarre to me because I've never seen a slug or snail around my home. There are some snails at Lake Wabamun and I guess many people with large flower gardens do see slugs, but not me. To add to it you called them molluscs and I had no idea they belonged to that family, so carry on teaching me stuff, I've only recently come out from under my rock, LOL!

Wow, I'd never have known that's what these are; how can something so pretty give rise to something so pesky?

I like the transparency... I'd keep an eye on them, to see what kind of creature they are nursing...

Nice capture Andrea, you definitely take the prize for some of the most fascinating images in such detail to be discovered in one's garden if you look beyond the mere surface of day to day life. Well done.
