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.

Nice shot!

I guess this is one reason they are called the 'dog days of summer'. Nice shot of Buster being a dog. I'll bet he was pretty happy.

Been out all day and you have just reminded me that I have to water in the allotment! Nice shot btw.

Nothing like a little dog in water. I bet he relished every minute of it.

Buster looks so relaxed there. I can bet that it was a challenge to get him out....LOL I know that I would have had that problem (just five more minutes! please?

By gee, by golly, I was able to locate the intrepid Buster after a bit of searching. Nice play of sunshine amongst the shadows, and vice versa. Too bad about your heat, a condition that we experience each and every year about this time.

Buster the waterdog! Looks nice and cool there in the shade. We're getting hot again now for the next week or so...I'm ready for fall already!
