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.

What a fantastic shot you made out of this spectacle, Andrea. It really has to be seen in full size, also to admire the reflections what it makes. I'm sorry the pigeons are eating your Wisteria, it's a shame!

The damselflies are lovely, but wow ... as an abstract composition, only accounting for line and color, this is a masterpiece! LOVE those colors. What a triumph!

A stunning capture with acrobatics worthy of Cirque du Soleil.

I'm with tara and Mark, among others. This is one of your insect on water shots where the water looks like pure sheer silk, and the insects look like elaborate beautiful metal-plastic constructions. And the big leaves on top and bottom frame the water perfectly. Beautiful shot, Andrea.
(we had an old joke, years back, about a damselfly who stole my girlfriend's dress, and the punchline was, "there it is! That's the damsel in this dress!") ("damsel in distress"??? it's not a great joke!)
