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's that line about raging against the dieing of the light. Good for Elaine, she sounds like a terrific lady. I see Rosie has fit in perfectly like her brothers.

Great sight. There was a big ole dog in the nursing home where my Mom lived. It wandered from room to room visiting the residents. They loved it and it got lots of treats. :-)

Good heavens, if she's 100, can I be that far behind? Most sobering. Otherwise, stellar POV and general photographic effects in this neat capture, A.

This makes me very sad i have seen where the children just stick them in a home and visit once a year and they never understood why.Great shot of them together.

Sweet shot! I think my little beest would be good a this kind of job if she wasn't so bouncy all the time. She loves people!

Beautiful moment captured. Lovely image. Eileen and Rosie look like they are getting on famously. How the world has changed since she was born. I finished reading a book on the flu epidemic of 1918 recently. She would have been 8. I wonder if she remembers it.

They both look quite content with each other. A lovely image.

What an amazing photo! Touching! Nicely fun as well...you can see that they're having fun and that's the most important thing! Life's what you make it, and animals always help you to make it into something fantastic!
