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 a wonderful sense of humor! She sounds like a real pistol. And 92 and still wearing lipstick. Well, a girl has to look her best. Isn't that right, Amnesia?

Really cool flash portrait of your nursing home friend, Andrea. Even at 92, she looks full of vim and vigor. And as for me, I'll never forget the day I got amnesia.

Great portrait of this lovely lady!

This must be a marvelously wonderful Nursing home you and the gang go to, the folks are always nicely dressed, even accessorized with jewelry! I love that some of the ladies still wear lipstick! I hope if I have to go to a nursing home, it is as nice as this one seems. Rita looks and sounds like a fabulous Grande Dame!

Ah yes Brigs wives are full of fun indeed. When I was the stores manager at the Union Jack club. The comptroller was Brig Jonathan Rickett (Welsh guards rtd) and his wife was called Fanny. She was a riot. One day I said Johnny and Fanny eh? I will have to get you to cook for me one day. We laughed because her retort was, I can easily burn water Ronnie. Super pic

Very nice portrait. Maybe try shooting it with a bit more distance and zoom instead?

She's full of life and I love a bit of wit as well! This is such a fun photo. I love human interest shots, especially of lively people. This is superb! Amnesia: I'll have to remember that one.

I like this. She seems eager to engage, and full of interest! I had some fun conversations with my grandmother when her mind started to go. :P

Suxh a great humor Rita has. So you are amnesia?! She is right, in a way this name sounds a bit like your real name to me. Once again a great portrait, Andrea. You are so good at this (as on so much more.....!!!!)
