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.

Wonderful and perfectly captured image !!

another brilliant shot of this critter... they always hatch with hundreds of them together, and stay together for some time

It looks deadly with all those spikes. You sure got some great shots of it. Hopefully we will see the butterfly sometime in the future.

A text book image Andrea, excellent capture.

I wonder if those spikes are as sharp as they look? Or if they give a sting? Great shot - he's a real beauty.

Prickly little fellow. Still, I suppose it helps to keep the birds away. The detail is amazing. Fantastic work.
