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.

Wow! Zoom is a must (22 views, 6 zooms). People miss so much. What a superb macro. The detail is amazing and the soft colors are gorgeous.

A glorious zoomer! The fat body is so like a pin cushion with its dimples. A superb bloom too!

An amazing spider, it's a pity many people fear spiders and end up killing them instead of capturing them and putting them outside.... this spider is very patient in waiting for it's prey... and it always gets it in the end.
