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.

What a gorgeous pic of the loving couple! Ralphy appears here so nonchalant with all the brouhaha around him - one cool customer! BB

Rosie is so cute with her ears up (here and the FlickR photo) and congratulations on her qualification. I don’t want to know about her other specialties!!!!! :>} Ralph also looks wonderful in both photos and I am happy to see that there is no evidence left, on his snout, from his fox encounter years back.

Fantastic that Rosie has behaved well, and resolved no winds (flatulence) during her promotion en publik. What a beautiful 'couple in love', these two biggies of you are, Andrea. I think to be sure, you are total proud of them. A most fantastic photo, my friend!

I love how your dogs seem to truly care for each other. You have a wonderful little fur family. Lovely shot of these two!

So sweet! :)

She doesn't look as if she is that into Ralph. Do they use the word "canoodle" over there? Its a term meaning snuggle. You might consider doing your patriotic duty and introduce Rosie to the British military. They could use her as a secret weapon. A very sweet image.

Congratulations Rosie and Andrea. What a nice way to celebrate having her pic. taken with Ralphie. Looks like Ralphie is trying to give her some special attention.
