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.

They couldn't wait until Spring? What a wonderful peek into the private lives of these little amphibians.

lol, Denise. It does look like an orgy. An amazing closeup of something I don't get to see very often, as an urban dweller. Such a conglomerate! And such color and light. Beautiful primal living thing, Andrea, great that you shared it so we could all see it. It's so very strange and exotic!

You do realize you could sell many of your photos to science magazines, don't you? :) As always a very well done shot.

Fantastic colors on these creatures, but it is difficult to see what is up and down on them, LOL
