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.

Ahhhhhhhhh ... you make me wish I were there! I'd curl up in that leather chair with Ralphie and just enjoy the comfort of having beautiful and quirky things around me. In order to travel full time I've given up the personal touches of home. If a thing doesn't have a practical purpose, it doesn't get to come along. It's a treat to sit in your studio and contemplate your collection of marvelous objects. Thank you, my friend!

It's worth a ZOOM - to find so many decorative and delectable little items, some are not so little ;)) and Ralph doing a quick check, if all is neat in it's place for this pic - (is that a saw-fish bit sticking out from behind the leather chair?) a lovely and homely dedi for Tara, BB

Nice to see the man of the house relaxing in his chair. I've never seen this at night. The colors and light are beautiful. I do like to travel but in the end, as Dorothy said, there's no place like home.

Splendid composition, reflections and lighting effects, all caught magnificently by your now defunct Tizzy One.

Very cosy just the place to sit and read a good book.

This very much reminds me of Maxfield Parrish's paintings; it must be the rich colours and that ultra-ultramarine blue sky...what a beautiful image!!!

This is the perfect birthday dedication! Such warmth and elegance. I love that lamp with the stunning shade, and how wonderful that the comfy-chair has a seat warmer! This is brilliantly beautiful!

Audio books are great for long trips but this is a perfect place to relax and read. Lovely reflection. I was surprised to see that you own a sawfish rostrum. Many believe that it is from a shark but alas sawfish are from the ray family and can grow up to 20 feet (6 meters) long.

This is so inviting! The lighting is beautiful. I love the combination of warm light and deep shadows. I like the dancer. Excellent capture and wonderful birthday dedication.
