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.

I've never seen one like this. Nice image. I like the markings on the banded one.

Neither! My oldest TZ3 and photoshop crop.

Ah yes, I have such an abundance of these little suckers that I never see any veggies from my garden. This is a great shot of the little culprits.

No kidding ... the composition is too perfect ... you placed the snail in place ...

Excellent. I love snails - whenever I feel stressed, nothing calms me more than watching a snail in a hurry. :-)

The garden where i previously lived was running alive with the striped shell variety when first moved in, avoided using slug pellets, just went out after dark with a torch and bucket and caught them. I could have started up a snail export business to France!. These are two excellent shots, I think I may have one in my gallery.. not sure which species.

Beautiful capture of this one; I had never seen the striped ones until I moved here, and we have tons of them!

Great shot and postwork on this image of the beautiful escargot, slowly negotiating its way across the lovely flora, A.

Great shot , I've seen quite a few of these plain ones this year I think the wet winter must have washed all the stripes off.
