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.

"Are you my mommy?" It is said that animals imprint on the first creature they see. You have really outdone yourself with this little one. Stunning details. And nice racing stripes on the eyes.

eye popping macro. I never understood the damselfly's eyes: They look opaque, like they're made of ceramics. So how do they see? And you got all the shiny bits, those specks of tinsel and gold all across its body. And the "racing stripes," as Mark calls them. Stunning closeup, Andrea, and even the leaf looks plush and gorgeous in this close range. Another scintillating insect capture from this last month or so...
