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.

A lovely image. There seems to be a lot of wasp around at the moment.

This is a really lovely image but the title reads like some exotic dish in a sushi restaurant.

Wow looks like the bee has found a double whammy -- 1: Some yummy nectar/ 2: Shelter from the rain. Wonderful macro shot Andrea.

How nice of the flower to show off such a gorgeous wasp! I love the inner cockles of the flower too: such a nicely-complicated, but not over-frilly shape. The whisper of yellow is superb. The rain wetness add such a nice sheen! Really excellent work.
