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.

Fritz, you look beautiful, you are worth all the money spent.Buddy's tooth extraction cost $450. that was with a $50 off special. A boarder, now that's a thought. hugs to you all Glenda.

I adore Fritz

My Mickey hated the nail clippers too... now the electric gtinder (same, or similar to a plain old dremel drill makes the ordeal fast and far better!) No more bleeders - lots lets post-procedure licking, etc.! LOL on your creativity with Fritz. I am surprised your vet didn't offer to do a quick contact catheter to make ease of this procedure for you. (Cost is next to nothing) - As always; a beautiful photo!

A most lovely Portrait of your dear Fritz. That's quit a job that has to be done, Andrea I guess it's once in a year you have to do that inspection, with your boys and girl. Anyway, I can imagine it's a bit a relieve it's fixed again! :)

Fritz looks so handsome here. I didn't know he was epileptic. Hester had old age epilepsy, started at 11 1/2.

What a little softie he is! It's a gorgeous portrait you've gotten here. I know the toenail woes, I have to take mine into the groomers for clipping as she won't even let me touch them, unless it's her digging them into my skin. Yesterday was bath and grooming day for her.

WOW he looks so lovely there. Good he is alright :D

This has the potential to PW out the non-essential, give DOF blur to the backround and softened on the edges to produce an award winning portrait of the species. Not saying this isn't stellar as it stands, but it could be developed into something used in training books and behavior books I've seen in the pet stores and vet offices around here. He is just an amazing doxie and your have outdone yourself in the animal portraits on this one.

Very cute portrait! :)

looking good lying there i would hate to have to get a urine sample from Winston i don't think he would even let me need to take winston in first of year to get shots... and something for his seizures which are getting more often i always keep sugar water on hand for him or pedialyte...... Keeping up a dog is almost important as taking care of ourselves... Great capture of Fritz here hugs susan~

Ach du leiber, your Fritz looks nigh onto effeminate with his long red hair all seductively combed and coifed, Andrea. Superb lighting effects in this pic of your glamorous canine.

There he is, looking all fluffy and festive! What a portrait! An all-around beautiful image.
