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.

I love both versions of this piece, Ralph looks well tucked up and warm there, they do say let sleeping dogs lie and I'm sure Ralphie would agree. :-)

He lives a life of luxury It's a wonder he wants to get up.

"I DON'T do mornings!" How adorable. Thanks for the laugh.

I like the painterly version, for just that reason! Love the postwork. Bill's older daughter has two whippets, and the old one has his favorite blanket on the sofa. Most of the time Jelly is seen only as a lump in a thin blue blankie! LOL!

His long nose is very useful under these circumstances. Lucky dog:)

Awwww, what a sweet portrait you've got here! Ralphie is a very lucky boy.

LOL. Ralphie could be easily mistaken for a nun perhaps. Love the composition, patterns and Caravaggio lighting effects, A.

I love it - does he cover himself or do you 'tuck' him in?
