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.

Thank you so much, Andrea! As you can tell, yesterday was a busy day. All good though! Yes, this was the real day, 50 years ago in a hospital, Nairobi, Kenya. The last 48yrs and 4 months have been spent here in South Africa. By the 'other' clock it is 6yrs and 6 weeks - still a youngster! (I am just wondering what happened to my camera and bag!) Here's to the next half century! Kind regards, Clive
