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.

Excellent shot! I've seen more coppery or brownish ones, but not that shade of red. Interesting!

This explains the saying 'Getting it in the neck'. Excellent shot Andrea.

2 Superb macros Andrea! I think the coupled "Heart" shape is No. 6 too challenging for most anyway!

A wonderful capture Andrea and we had hundreds of tiny blue Damselflies about our pond this morning. Very fast and just outside my camera's range. I did stumble on a snapping turtle to be shown at a later date.

Wonderful and interesting captures to say the least - you have more luck catching the insects 'in the act' than anyone I know...
