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.

Top notch portrait in the annals of man/dog relations, Andrea. And Buster had a green eye? A condition normally suggestive of envy.

Ernie and Buster, weren't they on Sesame Street? I love these pictures of yours with the boys and old folks. They are so warm and the visits are such a kindness. Lutheran Church Charities's K-9 Parish Comfort Dogs sent five trained golden retrievers to Newtown, Connecticut to help people traumatized by the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20656736_20657586,00.html Bless Ernie and the sacrifices he made to keep us free. If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. ~ Rupert Brooke, 1887-1915, 1914 V: The Soldier A very moving service and a spot on interview with the veteran. We tend to do the same here in the States, wait for most of our heros to die before we honor them.

If ever I end up in a nursing home, there better be a dog or cat in residence. Or someone that comes with a pack of dogs. I would hate to not have a 4 footed friend about. Ther is such a look of joy and peace in these folks eyes when they are snuggled with one of your pups. I love that you post these pictures.

Buster is such a GOOD dog! And handsome to boot...

Ernie looks happy in both photos so Buster did his magic in the recent photo!
