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.

Lovely shot. There must be some sustenance in there. I don't know if I am the only one but I am not getting email notifications from Rendo. I have to trawl through 'Whats New' to find new postings!!

Beautiful! Hubby made a bird house for on the garden shed, it has three nesting spots. the top one has been home for wasps almost from the day it went up. The two bottom ones are always occupied by house sparrows.

Excellent. I have not seen any in London now in the last couple weeks. Not even a fly. But then the developers seem to have wanted it that way. We live in a building site. Can't wait to hear about Bedfordshire.

Excellent capture, I'm not a massive fan of wasps and remind me why I have to carry an epen. They do serve a purpose and eat certain garden pests. Nests are an amazing feat of design, surprised to see them around although it is quite mild out at times.

Wasps and hornets do not occupy a high rung of insects that I like, having been stung by the little buggers too many times though I have to say that this is a fantastic capture
