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!Â
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! Â
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 was so surprised to read that Wang Jun was Yiming's mother!! I thought they must be school chums. After looking more carefully I can see they're mother and daughter, but her first impression is of such vitality and fun! I'm glad you had a good time and that Yiming will be able to stay with you for a while. She looks like a delightful person!

Lovely. They look like two school friends.

Stellar clarity, lighting effects and skin tones in this striking portrait of your beautiful lodger and her mother, Andrea. It never ceases to amaze me that those of the Asian persuasion never seem to age, or at least age gracefully.

First visit? How fortunate for Yiming to have you to look to for this fish out of water. A wonderful portrait of two lovely ladies. It must be exciting for both of them. See if Yiming knows how to cook. I roomed with Chinese students once and the meals were memorable. I still use the recipes to this day.

Lovely shot of this pair !

Such a LOVELY two! I'm touched by seeing daughter and mother. Asking myself, which one would be more proud. As I look at it, I see the daughter is so proud and happy to her mother. Also nice to see the mother looks a little cross-eyed. So impressing, Andrea!

With a bit of luck, I may even meet Yiming one day? or is the attic full now? ;) we had once a Japanese student staying with us, Shinji - he was going for his pilot licence and took Jeff for a little round-trip in a small plane ... You will find, that they are such nice and polite people, Andrea BB
