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.

GOSH! I havent seen such a fly since i was a little girl. (If it is the same we had here, then) I remember sitting on a field not far away from my home in Copenhagen and picking flowers and I often saw thes flies. They were always wagging the wings. First the right, then the left and so on. hmmm... OH excellent shot BTW :)

I have not even encountered this species of fly, thank you for identifying it should I find one.

That is so nice !! the colour of the flower that fills the eye and then the detail on the tiny insect just leads the eye in

Now then, that is a teensy fly, this one engulfed by the massive blue of the Morning Glory.

Once again your keen eye captures a different variety of insect life; what a lovely capture!

Might it be Thyridanthrax fenestratus the Bee Fly?... I might be wrong there because I cannot see it's body, does it have any white markings on it's body?... either way a great find and capture.
