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.

Wow don't you look pretty Andrea. The sweater is gorgeous and the colors looks so good on you. The snazzy hat fits you perfectly, looks like you may have to zap out another one. Very impressive knitting work you do. Thanks for sharing your happy smile and outfit. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Oh Andrea I adore you! You are looking so very happy on this photo, I can watch it for hours. I too like the tapestry behind you, and the sweater fits very well with you, as the hat too. Let's hope this really does not fit for you (bald) friend. (In the past I always did knit or crochet while watching television. Now unfortunately I have a sort of tennis-arm when I'm knitting, etc..)
