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.

A great portrait of this relaxed sitter! So sorry to hear you have had to go for emergency meds. I hope they clear you up quickly back to health. Please don't try to rush back to doing everything straight away. Pick up the pace gradually or you can easily overdo it. Then end up stuck in again. So do it slow and steady and clear it up in one! The sea will be warming up to swimming temperature in the next few months!!!

Stellar all around photo effects in this fine portrait, Andrea. Sorry about your condition, could be from all of the gardening and visit to the Rectory. Am having a problem receiving ebots, the reason my comments have been limited lately.

Great portrait !

Excellent portrait, I thought "Kipping" was his last name for a minute...DOH! I must be getting senile! And sometimes the body will not be silenced, that's why God made medicines...take it easy on yourself and let it come back as it will, forcing won't help you at all.

A very fine portrait but I always like anything with Ralph in it. Stay warm and dry. Chicken soup! And hot toddies. Tea and honey and rum. It probably won't make you any better but after a few you won't care. Take care and get well soon.

Looks like he and Ralphie have the same thing in mind, so obviously it was your daughter-in-law who went shopping for you! Hope you feel better soon Andrea!

Excellent shot Andrea. I like Mark, he was a bundle of fun when we met. His comical tee shirts.

I like this very much. It's a compliment, isn't it, when someone feels comfortable enough to fall asleep on your couch? :) Take good care, and be easy on yourself. I hope you're feeling better ...

Great B&W and beautiful portrait

Marks looks the same in both photos but Ralph and the colors do make for a better presentation on FlickR.

Yes, I recognized your son by seeing the thumbnail. I do so hope you will feel better as soon as possible, dear friend. Thinking of you!
