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.

Lol... this is too cute, Andrea! The 'doggles' are awesome on Ralphie! He's definitely kicking back and enjoying the last bit of sunshine the season has to offer! Gorgeous print on the blanket as well, in the background!

They look like a great idea. Bless you for getting them for him. I love his freckly nose too!

Good lawd, Snoopy from Peanuts! You captured Snoopy from Peanuts! Without his WWI flying cap though. Actually, Snoopy is a beagle, but close enough. Superb clarity, color, composition and detail of your pooch.

He looks like a cool dude in his Doggles and in this fantastic photo!

I'll join the refrain. He does look like one very cool dude. It's wonderful that you can read when he wants them and that he can take them off again. Very cute capture of such a suave and debonair guy.
Celart
Very funny

Don't know how I missed this one last year!... Ralphie certainly looks cool and relaxed here, bet he'll be using them again soon.
