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.

You mean these hybrid creatures copulate while buzzing and darting through the air? What a way to go! Great wing textures and extreme contrast in this image, A.

Bookends? I never realized it could be done this way. An outstanding capture. Your gallery never ceases to educate. Bau-Chicka-Bau-Bau indeed.

There seems to be a disproportionate amount of this sort of thing going on in your garden as opposed to other parts of the world. ie ... wherever it is that I am! LOL! I enjoy your eye for nature, since I'm rarely looking at this level ... always somewhere else, apparently. This is a delight!

And they don't even have to look at each other; it would make riding the bus at high-traffic hours, for instance, quite interesting. Back into someone and BOOM! You're having it... Oh my, I'm feeling flustered at the thought. I love the wing detail in this shot!
