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.

Fritz is great at doling out the love. This is a smashing picture and the other one even more so.

My god she looks so good. 104!!!!!! Bless you for doing what you do. Personally, if I was in there, patting dogs would do more for me than any medication.

I think that Fritz caught Doris off guard in the FlickR version. Both super photos!

Quite the ladies' man. Fritz NOT being pushy, now that would be a shot. A wonderful pair of images.

IF that doesnt help giving these sweet oldies more quality in life, nothing does. Fritz is such a loving dog and you are a very precious woman, bringing them to this nurcing home.

Absolutely fantastic, what a lovely dog, it must be a great pleasure for them to get these visits, I'm sure they look forward to it, priceless captures. First class all round.

Heart warming and fun pictures! Both show such wonderful interaction between the residents and your dogs, and are great to see in progression too. I like the connection between ladies and dogs so evident in the first image. Doris and Joan concentrating on Fritz, Pat looking on with a hand on Rosie, and Fritz and Rosie doing what they do best; giving love and physical contact. The second image made me laugh. Such a great capture of their spontaneous reactions.
