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.

Are you referring to the fly or your image because the image is a stunner. Superb detail on the wings and the composition is perfect.

Wonderful shot. I spent the day in a new ecological park today, what a wonderful place, but I rather stupidly forgot to take a macro lens, and the red darter I missed last week, well all I can say is that that place made up for that today, they were settling on posts and fences, as well as on the purple loostrife. A wonderful place with a circling board walk and hides for the water foul.
