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.

Sterling macro of the industrious spider, Andrea, with patterns and textures that virtually defy description.

As she probably matures in only year, she must LOVE HER FOOD!

That has got to be one of the biggest roundest spiders I've ever seen! Wow! What a shot!

Excellent macro! I'm amazed the web can still hold her.

Are you sure this isn't a goiter? Atlas has nothing on her. Spectacular capture.

A spectacular capture Andrea. I can't decide if she is just well fed or is she about to start filling an egg sack. An excellent P{OV and zoom! Lovely markings too!!!!
