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.

I had to laugh at the "doggles" word!!!! Charlie Brown (Peanuts) had a dog called SNOOPY One of Snoopy's most famous alter-egos is as the World War I Flying Ace, often seen battling his archenemy, Manfred von Richthofen, (the Red Baron). When assuming this personality, Snoopy would don goggles, a flying helmet and a scarf and climb on top of his doghouse, which he claimed was a Sopwith Camel. SUPER SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great portrait of Ralphie; I love the doggles, but I doubt I could get them onto my beast.

LOVE those doggles!! Mandy has been squinting a lot against the sun on her cataracts ... maybe we should get her some of those! She already has a dog stroller. The things we do for our old doggies! :P

Such a hard life. Ralph would fit in perfectly at the Chateau Marmont in Beverley Hills (is that Ralphie behind those Foster Grants?).

Now why does it not surprise me that Ralphie has a pair of these? Well, he's obviously on the cutting edge of fashion! And he wears them well! Doggles! I love 'em. This is fantastic.
