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.

I've known couples like that. These two have no shame. This is an exceptionally good capture.

Wow you capture the most unusual and amazing things Andrea.
Imagine these two were to busy to notice you were invading their territory.

Great story, and a terrific shot. I like seeing your friend in the background.

I've been around the block a few times, but I'm trying desperately to figure out just how they're 'mating'---is this a new position? It looks reeeeeealllly difficult! Anyway, amazing shot, it's so acrobatic and I love the balance between their heads and wings, and those long extended bodies. So you carried the branch to that man, and the flies stayed in place? (That's concentration!) Terrific shot. I love the guy blurred back there. Great hat too...

they are so wrapped up into what they are doing - great capture
