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.

"Well alright, if you must." Not a happy fellow. Thanks for the laugh.

Marvelous portrait of this handsome fellow. He looks like he is not at all pleased to be posing.
GARAGELAND
It reminds me of Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), in Taxi Driver. "You talking to me," Brilliant capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have it on good authority that when cats give you this particular facial pose (note the heavy-lidded eyes and ears laid back, but not aggressively) then they're expecting you to compliment their whiskers, as they're making specific effort to show them to you...either that, or they're moving their ears out of the way so that it's easier for you to pet them. Either way, Charlie Cat is one of those people who happens to be really fun to be around, especially since he appears to know it. This is a gorgeous shot!

What long whiskers you have, dear uncle. Charlie Cat projects an aura of sheer contempt in this awesome foto, Andrea. Your Tizzy18 came through with flying patterns and textures.

A great capture of this proud cat and I love his expression.

Charlie Cat is not amused, you didn't catch his good side! ;( super shot, BB
three_grrr
Oh my goodness! I think you should consider yourself immensely lucky to have been allowed a shot at all! A rather regal bearing he has, quite condescending, barely tolerating you at all! I adore this shot!!
beachzz
a haughty feline if i ever saw one--great shot!!
fallen21
Excellent capture ^^!
whaleman
I love his "Don't mess with me!" look, LOL!
dakotabluemoon

Are you sure it's a cat and not a very small Kzinti?
