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.

Best wishes for Buster!

What a cute image! From the color differentiation and the blurred paw print, I'm guessing he was headed for the water. My best wishes for Buster to be feeling better and coming back home in the morning right as rain!

I hope all will be well in the morning Andrea. I like this shot.

I hope he feels better. He must be sick, because I know my boy never 'pretends'! He would only sit down and rest if he had a bullet in the guts or worse!!!!!!!!

Awww Poor buzzy. Give him a big hug from uncle Ronnie in the morning. This is a super capture Andrea, well seen and taken.

Oh, poor Buster; I hope he's right as rain in the morning. I hate to see sick furfolks... What a great image this is, I love the pawprints!

so sorry to hear your news, hope all is well tomorrow

Excellent shot! Hope the dog is okay tomorrow!

Maybe he just stopped and looked back, to see if you followed him ? let's hope he will be alright, it's so sad when animals suffer in silence ... BB you would make a good Sherlock Andrea, with your track record, pardon the pun ! ;)) have you ever seen the modern-day take ? on the detective stories, with Jonny Lee Miller and co-starring Lucy Liu, she is redefining the role of Watson in forthcoming TV drama Elementary, as the first-ever female sidekick to Sherlock Holmes. One of my favs is actually with actor Robert Downey jr.

Nice capture of Buster's prints in the Durley Beach sand, as he hobbles off to the doggie hospital in order to receive medical care vis-a-vis his illness, Hope the poor little guy weathers the storm, with little or no after effects. And, Andrea, you show your tracks, and I'll show mine, several of which I posted today, and we'll see what develops.

Warm thoughts for Buster and I like this track grouping!

Sic transit cane? It sounds like Buster has weathered the worst of it. I hope the little Scottish lad is back home soon. Hopefully he has learned not to eat everything that passes by his nose.

Hope he is better tomorrow! Interesting track shots, they're better than track and field shots.

Omg i am so sorry to hear of this hon please keep us informed.Just this morning on the news about dog treats and some foods from Chins have some bad stuff in it do not feed to your dogs they get really sick and some have died so u may want to check it out on the web about what not to feed them hope little Buster gets better.

My thoughts are with buster and you, maybe he picked up a slug or snail in the garden, sometimes they can make a dog poorly if they ingest one. My best wishes... nice capture too.

I saw the update on Buster, and I'm very happy he's doing better. I saw this too; and, though I'm just getting to it now, I wanted to send my best wishes for Buster's recovery. I know how other animals (in one's home) are effected when one of them is sick or away, etc: They pick up so much from each other, more than non pet-owners can believe. And no matter what anyone says, they're family, and you want the same life and health for them as you would for yourself. A great little picture, btw, so clean and minimal, and those stones really make the shot. I'll be back after months' end, and look forward to it. But for now, all my best to your dear Buster...I hope he comes through whole and healthy once more.

Poor Buster, hope he is feeling better & hope he is back with the gang tomorrow. Buster really digs his nails in when he walks!!

I'm with you on the tracks ... I can't resist 'em! Speed makes such a difference, too. This is great! I've already seen the update on Buster, being that I'm a bit behind. Good to know he's improving. :)

My very best wishes for poor little Buster to recover in no time. Superb shot too :)

Nice, well done

I hope Buster is better by now... Well composed... A very elegant image... I like the white pebble near one of the prints, smoothed by sand and water... Simple as it seems this picture, I recommand to zoom it!
