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.

A terrific shot!
Thanks for mentioning your albums. It cause me to go take a look, and I love the selections you've chosen. It was fun to browse a couple of your albums, and see some of your older shots all collected together. Nice!

Hehe Kevin makes a good point, I saw a swallow yesterday, but I have not seen any red dammies in the near two years of my country residence, plenty of common blues, and the odd Green emerald has been seen, but no reds, maybe it is a southern thing? Nicely done Andrea

A superb capture, crisp and clear. And what wonderful markings. One of my favorite insects although I wish they wouldn't eat the butterflies.
