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 like the version too Andrea. Isn't it amazing how they do this. If it were that way in humanity, you'd get arrested for strangulation/rape

Lovely reflections. I have to say that the close up is spectacular. I keep expecting one of them to turn to you and say, "May we have some privacy, PLEASE!"

I love your pond!

Nice work Andrea, I really like this piece, the reflections really add to the shot and the damselflies add a focal point.

I thought that the green lumps were mating frogs until I zoomed and spotted the damselflies. Excellent reflections! A sweet enlargement on the other side.

WOW! What a marvel! Such brilliant critters too. Such angles! Who would have guessed that geometry could be so...romantic? Leave it to insects to exploit that little-known-aesthetic niche! I love the reflections and the colors! Life is such a fantastic thing, and it's great to see that it's going on an making new life. This is brilliant!
