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 LOVELY girl, Andrea. I love her looks, ànd her earrings too. A spicy girl, as we say here in Holland! Thumb up Sophie!!! A hug from an other red-one, but that's because of the Henna, LOL!

What a lovely looking young woman! Glorious red hair and a very mischievous spirit in the corners of that little smile! I wish her every success.

Blimey, a top notch portrait of your lovely Sophie, Andrea! A bonnie lass she is. Did Sophie have a Choice in all this? And she does look in her early teens.

Oh Andrea, she is so cute and "elfin-like" is the perfect description.

She certainly does look young, and very very colourful! Love those dimples!

She is a sweetie for sure! I like her tastes in clothes, scarf, hair and earrings! I would have guessed about 14 or 15.
