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.

What a lovely colour and the wet web is a bonus for this shot, it's a shame it's been caught out by mild weather because as soon as we have a heavy frost it's surely going to suffer. Lovely capture?.

What a superb image. Beautiful rich color on this perfect bloom. The spider seems to have overworked her project.

Such a surprise to discover this in your garden, Andrea. It looks so lovely together, the wet web, and the Camelia color. A beautiful shot!

Blimey, quite some contrast between the red camelia and wild web in this splendidly composed pic, A.

The Freedom Bell looks like it is coated with sugar and the wet web is gorgeous in this photo!

Wonderful picture, both for the web and flower, and for the idea that you've got these lovelies blooming already!

At least the spider will be easily able to get a drink after eating another bug!
