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.

Oh my, a miniature Volkswagen on top of your Volvo. Lovely colors and patterns on its paint job, Andrea, and it stands out especially well against the dark backdrop of duct tape.

Such pretty patterns, both bug and tape! :)

With that helmet she's wearing and the markings on her Pronotum, she looks like an angry Samurai warrior. A fantastic macro.

If you mounted some of that duct tape upside down you could stop some of that alien invasion, but I suspect you really like them!

great macro not so sure about the bug.
kaward
He seems to like the texture, spotty with black colours too! Maybe he's trying to mate with it! Great capture!

A real fine capture, ladybirds are friends of the garden.. especially the greenhouse, again proves nature is the greatest artist of all but great skill in capturing this little fellow.
