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.

Wonderful memory shot to hold on to friends come and go so fast and we soon forget we about them with the rushing of life.

Capital portrait, Andrea. Is that the same Arthur from the 1981 film, Arthur, or the Arthur from the 1988 sequel, Arthur 2: On the Rocks? And, most magnanimous of you to have given him Fritz and Ralphie as a birthday present.

A great trio, and an excellent capture.

a wonderful portrait of that fine & inimitable face, and of a helluva fine photographer too. (One of our best.) And lushly surrounded by all those beautiful pillows, and by two of your beautiful dogs. All totally relaxed, a wonderful knowing smile on Arthur, and a reflection of his head in the background. A sumptuous & wonderfully relaxed portrait, feeling like it's wholly spontaneous but with your real eye for pattern, plushness and beauty. A very worthy birthday upload for a terrific photographer.

The three amigos – a wonderful photo of all three – I checked out the link and I had only been on RR for two weeks when you posted it.
