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.

the thoughts that ran through my head as I viewed this image and the one with the (your words) wider view, well..... just let it be known that I will NOT type them here. Great capture

Kim, is that you? I knew it was large but I had no idea it was spotted! What an amazing find and tack sharp.

Amazing shot! There seems to be a level of discomfort under there! Some things are equally as beautiful/ugly (please delete as you see fit) at either end!

Good grief - that is a super sized frog/toad and an exceptional photo!

this took me a while when it went up, and then I totally forgot about it; and now I'm back at frog-porn central, lol. I'm STILL not sure exactly how they're doing this, but I know I'll never be able to do it. It brings dumb captions to mind, like "we gotta stop meeting like this". Or "pass the oils". I dunno. When I was doing advanced yoga postures---many years ago---I tried some of them with an old girlfriend (in bed), and all I know is, after 5 minutes I had no idea where I was. (And I lost all circulation in my limbs. She was having a great time, which was really discouraging because I couldn't breathe.) Both shots, here, are amazing for the packed position, the detail on those shiny skins, and for the slimy sensual flow of the surfaces, and for all those corpulent parts. The large version shows the whole thing, which is stunning. A helluva a photo, visually, and in terms of shagging? (Do you have that word in the UK? making love...), it'd put the kama sutra to shame. These two could write their own manual. Amazing captures.
