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.

OMG, you must have toiled for untold hours over this intricately carved, totem pole candlestick, Andrea. Great work!

Thank you Andrea. You know me better than you realize. I love this! The top face looks like a Monty Python character (was watching clips yesterday). I have several pieces by an artist named Jim Rumph. I have to say, your work is far superior.

I just love your scupture/clay works. You are so talented, and I am so glad you display your work from time to time. I think in this image, my fave is the dog or maybe bear face at the very bottom with it's tongue hanging out.
