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.

When I first saw the title to this pick, I thought of a song by the Beetles (not those 4 humans) but the real beetles, stag beetles, I believe...and well...it was a different song, but still. I love this shot! I love the colors and of course your insect model is perfectly posed! This is a gorgeous shot and well...hungry molluscs are always nibbling something, aren't they? It's what they do, they nibble...or lick since many have spiky tongues. This is a marvelous photo. Very rich. Very lush.
