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.

Great capture
T.Rex
Nice photo of this frightening little creature. Actually, a very beautiful one. I wonder what the patterns mean? These critters seem to come in 3 parts - head, thorax and abdomen. Small, no brain but two chains of nervous tissue and ganglia. Yet they seem to be able to think and feel. It amazes me. Keep up the good work (but don't get stung!). :-)

A very stout specimen. I thought they were more streamlined. Turns out I was thinking about the American version. Another smashing close up image.
