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.

Three denizens in one shot, that's a great result!

I believe the correct quote is "Eye of newt and tow of frog". What a terrific find! And so nice of them to sit for a portrait. Lucky slug, neither seems to have noticed it.

lol, Mike; and Mark has it...(Macbeth's witches/weird sisters: "Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog..." They were a delight, weren't they?) What a great slimy icky amazing capture. You had to be super observant for this. The mud itself is worth an eeeeeuuuuwwwwww, and the newt just slithters by, while the frog is contemplating the mysteries, and the slug has moseyed on in to check things out. It's really got a feel to it, all this stuff. Well, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so thanks for the delightful shot; you get the most amazing closeups of nature. Wonderful work. (And btw, Toad, Newt and Slug could be the name of a Buddy Cop show in the States. I'm not joking: That's the kind of stuff they come up with...) Love this shot.
