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.

Now, I have seen these but apparently not here in the USA since they are listed as found in Europe, Asia and Northern Africa. So, that narrows it down to my experience with them probably being either in Germany or Vietnam. Strange little critters:)

Guess there'll likely be the pitter-patter of many little feet before too long!

After viewing this spectacular image, A, I am beyond envious of the fact that you have 90% of the world's varied species of insects represented in your neck of the woods.

I can almost hear the strains of "Sweet mystery of life at last I've found you". Amazing macro work but I suppose they were busy and didn't notice you.

I have never seen them before.

You really should make some illustrated books about flowers and bugs. Really you are so good at capturing those things...oh yes and shoes and perfumes and dogs and people and...........
