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.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

What an intimate moment, as calm as a kind of intense involvement to each other. Together so understated and Ralphie so loving and dedicated.

Your nursing/rest home pics/portraits are most poignant, A. I wonder if Ralphie was musing about chasing a fox.

He looks well relaxed and this is a lovely capture, I'm sure the ladies and gents would be sad to learn about the passing of Buster but Ralphie here will help honey the pain of that loss... I'm sure Buster would be proud. And who knows maybe Buddy could follow in Busters paws so to speak, given time and I'm sure a little patience.

A fantastic pose by Ralph to help out at the nursing home - and as always - thank you Andrea for your faithful visits to both the nursing home and the rest home. You and your dogs are real stars!
