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.

Nature's way. Excellent. She was created with a bit of posterizing just to make her different:)

Wow, what a spectacular shot! She's gorgeous, even minus a leg...

Great image! They certainly do have, along with similar insects, very prominent ovipositors! She sure looks ready to lay eggs!

You make bugs look so interesting. I have a spider on the window outside, Fred (as we name our spiders) has spun a wonderful big web, I have watched it grow.
I am leaving a note for the window cleaner NOT to clean that window. Cannot have Freds wonderful home damaged :o)))

Great shot - what an interesting shape this cricket has - the sectioned body reminds me of sow bugs...
