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 pic. of this beautiful flower Andrea. How interesting a moth with the same name gets its food source here.

Your close ups are almost always pin sharp but it is the details that lift them above the ordinary. The fuzz on the leaves, the pollen everywhere. There is even a spider's thread with pollen on it. To find and appreciate these and capture them so well is the real art.

I am late in my comments as usual and of course it has all been said by others how great this photo is so I will just ditto again.
