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!
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!
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.

Such a shame when s***y governments get too far into education, if it costs people their career eh? Still what's new for our spineless wankers in Westminster. Lovely shot Andrea!
Katraz
That shot came out great Andrea.

MUCH more fun on the beach...............I would tend to agree!

Blimey to heaven, just look at those folds of laugh lines around the eyes! Stunning detail in this fabulous beach portrait, Andrea.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

Don't know which is worse, government interference or benign neglect. Our educational system is approaching crisis because the Congress refuses to act. I'm with Harry, those laugh lines are the biggest I've ever seen. He seems to be a smoker as well. I think I prefer the b&w.

Here we have college administrators who seem to have nothing useful to do so they interfere with everything. Happily I quit in 2006, though they called it retirement simply because they never read my letter. Dolts! I like your shot but prefer the B&W because his teeth are too close a match to the yellow!

I love how his smile so completely reaches his eyes. There's a lot of time spent and laughs shared in that look!
