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.

Great capture and it's good to have these guys in the garden in and around the pond.. they are friends of the garden, I know some people are scared of them but they are harmless. Always remember in that movie The Wicker Man when that shopkeeper popped one in her daughters mouth quickly to help soothe a sore throat!.. chuckle... not a good idea in practice... I know some people enjoy acid trips off the back of some species.. again highly dangerous as it's a deterrent from being eaten.

The Hollow Toads are still in deep sleep in their beds, all covered up and cozy. Even procreation is far from their minds, or maybe not .. do toads dream in their long winter sleep? I love these little guys, and hate to mow out at the Hollow, because so many die in the mower blades .. but many get rescued, and moved into the woods.
