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.

He looks quite well-fed, as I would expect in your patch! You are too good to them sometimes...

What a fantastic close up. You can see the details in all their slimy goodness. Perhaps if you put up little signs pointing the way to your compost heap the little buggers will leave your plants alone.

Hmmmmm ... Having lived with these all my life, I must say, when we travel I don't miss them at all! I'm of the "teach them to fly" persuasion.

A candidate for the chop with my shears!! I like your shot though Andrea.

I admit, it looks quite beautiful, as I see this shot, but dont I like them, especially because we sometimes find a slug in the bathroom and we dont know where it comes in. It happened atleast a couple of times a week all summer. YUCK! But I could not chop it with scissors.

Looks like he got his fill too.

Nice shot but not good when they have chewed a hole in your favourite plant.

Yikes you can keep them !
The group shot is good but --- they really creep me out like mice !
The lonely one on top sure looks full to the brim !

An amazing macro, Andrea, I'm impressed by your capture of this, so well known 'fellows'. We had really far too much of these hungry beasts. What we do with it, before everything is destroyed by them, is catch them, and set them over in a meadow.
