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.

"Everybody DANCE now!!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXda46z9usA More like an orgy. There is definitely a smiling face on the back of the one with its own leaf. Quite a club scene but I don't see a bouncer anywhere.

Very unusual to see so many together, great find.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

Fascinating bugs.. they look rather like small brown dead leaves which I would guess is the purpose, well done in managing to find so many together for this shot.
