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.

Wonderful capture love the harmony between Fritz's red coat and the intense green of the moss

Perfect capture, adorable dog!

Fritz is a good boy, maybe hoping for presents.

LOL! GREAT TITLE, AND FANTABULOUS CAPTURE!

That moss is really something....Fritz is quite the looker too.

A reddish Fritz blending in with the green moss makes this a somewhat Christmaslike image, Rossetti style, A. Cool textures all around.

A charming picture of your little doggie - great moss and holly closeby !

Fritz has always been photogenic. An exellent background for him. I like the color of the ivy.

I had just to google Raphael and Rossetti, to be sure - not to say the wrong thing, after all I am not familiar with every famous painter and painting of the Byzantine (?) era - there is big gap in my education ;( so sad! ... BB Anyhow, Fritz, the beautiful redhead is in complete sync with the roots of the tree - you nailed it Andrea! (but I am totally puzzled, by what this heavy looking '?' under his chin is doing there ???)

Rossetti's Redheads would be green with envy if they saw our Fritz, with his gorgeous red hair, posed here against the lush green velvet like backdrop

very wonderful

He seems to be quite relaxed about his modeling job. A beautiful image! I like the way his back echos the tree root behind him. Very nice!

What a wonderful scene! Fritz is such a beautiful boy, and I'm sure he's very aware that he looks stunning beside the moss and holly!

The moss made a gorgeous background for Fritz’s profile photo on FlickR. A wonderful full length version on RR. Sometimes I forget that Fritz is built so low to the ground! :o)

I prefer the red heads of Alberto Vargas.
