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.

I have not seen any of these this year here (Yet) Green thick legs are not common anyway in sarf lundun. I did get a close up of one a while back if you recall? This is a super image Andrea.

Obviously been hitting the leg weights at the gym. And what a gorgeous metallic color. It fits perfectly with the yellow background. I knew the other image was of a female. She has such dainty legs.

Beautiful insect, and great detail in this shot and the other one too. Can't quite identify the friend in that one.

A beauty, this photo. Here I saw also a lot of these green scooters, they are funny, huh?!

If I were metallic green, I would sit and preen in the sunshine on a yellow flower all day, just waiting for someone to come by and make me famous! :) He's beautiful!

He has more vibrant colors and I love the saddlebags - she is sort of plain. Two excellent photos!
