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.

We had a nice sunshiny day today, but I did not see any bees around. Of course, the windchill may have discouraged them. I had to go out in it and now I am bundled under blankets with extra sweaters on trying to warm myself up again. I am glad this little guy can warm himself up. Thanks for sharing this wonderful shot.

Pretty spring picture. I too like that web site. I like to use it in my educational programs I do at the grade schools.

Looks like this little fellow is in LOVE! Outstanding capture. I went to the web site only to be confronted with an ad for professional pest control. I do like this title. It reminds me of some of those odd little village names like Scratchy Bottom, Piddle River, Bumble-on-Crocus.

Rendezvous! And in what a spot.

I've seen a lot of crocus buds, and some daffodil blooms (mostly the miniature ones), but no crocuses open yet. Of course we're having rain and wind, that might have something to do with it!

Beautiful capture Andrea. I would not have expected that the bees are already active.
