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.

And yet I can never manage to swat the little buggers with my newspaper. With your amazing skills in discovery you should be working for Animal Planet. High drama perfect for keeping the audience waiting to see what happens next. Time for a commercial break about now.

If not this one there will be another, no fear! Wonderful shot!

Great capture Andrea! this is going to make a great background image for my computer - though my boss may disagree: she hates spiders.

Wonderful shot! I've always wanted to get something like this, and you have both the spider and its prey... Great shot, Andrea.
