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.

They both look great on those brilliant green leaves. I can hear her griping at him from here. "My feet are killing me, I can barely make it to the bathroom on time, and I'm just done, done, done with this whole thing! You're not touching me again, you bastard, I don't care how much you beg!"

Love the patterns and textures in this pic of the gravid beetle and leaves. The insect looks about ready to explode.

When you see her again remind her that black is always flattering. Superb pair of macros.
