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.

they look so contented, like the British gentlemen they are. only thing missing is the brandy and cigars

They are such handsome and happy boys; I like the other pic even better, I think!

I thought you were going to show us a picture of two guys named Ray but this is good too. Like an old married couple. They are together but completely ignoring each other. They do make a cute couple. When I see how well off your dogs are with you I begin to understand why my mother wanted to come back as a lap dog.

I love that fabric! Wonderful colors, and the print is lovely. Gosh, Andrea, I don't know what came over you. I've never in my life purchased fabric that I didn't use immediately for its intended purpose! LOLOL! (I'll probably go straight to hell for that one.) :P Such a cozy and welcome picture. They look quite content!

I'm thinking along the lines of that movie 'Mondo Cane' from the 60's (A dog's world) ;P maybe the floral Hawaiian design makes them really appreciate the comfort of a holiday comfort ... just too funny ! BB
