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.

Yellow on yellow! Just what I need: some warm sunny colours in this rainy summer :-)

That's a beautifully designed bee, there's something very satisfying in the roundness of his abdomen. Wonderful shot!

Fantastic photo Andrea :)

Nice that the bee has the same name as we call it. Easier to remember. What a fantastic shot this is.

Another crack shot. Superb detail. It looks like its just started its work day.

Both are great captures but this version zooms much better!

Love it! She looks so good on that flower. Nice catch

What a gorgeous shot! And it looks so sunny there too! I don't think we have leafcutter bees: we might, but I doubt it, and what a handsome specimen this is. Great clarity too. I love this shot. A lot! That yellow is brilliant.

as always: wonderfully captured

Nicely caught.

I like it when your critters position themselves on the edge of the flower's center. SUCH a pleasing composition! It's as if they know ...
