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.

These little critters are so cute, and you're lucky to get such great macro shots of them!

I suppose this would fall under the heading of A Horrible Beauty. A very impressive pair of images.

Personally i think it is amazing that you could even see this spider. It blends so well with the surroundings. You are quick to observe such miniature worlds and bring them to life with your fantastic photography. :)

Well camouflaged and waiting for dinner.

Awesome!

the flickr version has an almost abstract painting feel...and both of them bring out the deep protection that these petals provide (that is, until some other creature breaks into them). Fine shot of the furls and caverns of flower-life, and a beautiful corpulent spider in its midst. You got its front legs embracing the petal too. A fine capture of natural beauty and protection.

(Btw, I started with your most recent image, and am going backwards chronologically. It's rare that I start at the beginning, so it calls for celebration. I'm not in the back-gallery, catching up!)
