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!
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!
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.

Well, I've really got to hand it to you in this beautifully illuminated portrait, Andrea. I like how the sidelighting enhances the skin and the wrinkles. But the question remains: who's hand is who's? Or would that be whose hand is whose? Or who's hand is whose?

Outstanding image, full of feeling. An entire history in a pair of hands. Hands that played, hands that worked, hands that won a war and kept a home and prayed over the graves of loved ones. And now hands that are held by a friend's hand.

relatively easy to tell who's hands are who's, in reply to goodoleboy. I look to see which are the gardener's hands. a beautiful picture Andrea.
