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 never seem stay still long enough for me to photograph. Got lots around my pond at the moment and they are quite happy to sit on my hand if I'm still. Great shot Andrea :)

An outstanding shot, fantastic details. With me they always fly away before I can photograph them.

I love your pics of damsel flies, they are very beautiful.

Damselflies are so captivating with those long bodies and wings - like a darning needle -and you captured this one so superlatively.

Superb capture. I like the tortoise shell markings. The male is flashier but I prefer the lady.

Lovely detail of the elegant damselfly, I have vivid memories as a young lad of seeing masses of these in all the colours they come in around a forest pond in the early 70's.

Wonderful how it is perpendicular to the leaf, with its lace-leafed wings suspended over open air. Another beautifully detailed insect shot from you, with no visible connection to the leaf, so it looks like the leaf is suspended in mid air' and all that looming space is surrounding it...Wonderful crop.

This is a gorgeous capture and detailed wing structure. I did like the FlickR version too - because of the spread wings!
