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.

Excellent captures, it's good to see them around, 30th March is supposedly the start of british summer!... we deserve one after all this rain and floods, let's hope it's a dry summer. Looking forward to what you will discover in the garden. Nice work.

A fine photograph of this unusual sight.

And here I thought orgies went out of favor in the 1970s. Superb catch.

Is there a raping going on? So it seems. Poor female. ! Hope she doesn´t drown. Superb shot though :)

Perhaps it should be titled "Toad Ball."

Oh my, a scene I've never seen; great capture!

Terrific POV and lighting effects in this seemingly below water pic of a toad stretched across a rock of some sort, surrounded by multi patterned objects which I assume are native to the area, Andrea. The whole scene looks not of this world.

Weird as a bundle of toads! Nice capture!

I have not ever seen anything like this! Are they mating? or are they just waking from their winter's sleep? It's a wonderful capture! They look a little undernourished.
