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 take your word for it on the Latin but it's a super picture.

I love Ladybugs! Great capture! This one kind of looks like she's hunkered down (maybe she's sleeping...?).

Sorry, I don't speak Latin too well, so I must assume that this is a ladybug atop some sort of cacti or rosebush. Love the thorns and what seemingly look like the eyes of the insect.

Excellent detail in these shots.. a friend of the garden. Good find.

Such a humble creature. I don't know anyone who doesn't like them. Two superb images. The one on flickr should be careful not to get impaled on that thistle.

This is a great photo but I do like the acrobatic photo on FlickR best!
