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.

What a lovely capture, wonderful work you do with those sweaters, they look great and I bet they keep you warm too. Fritz lovely coat comes through in this shot. I love the lampshade captured in the reflection of the mirror. I should really paint my walls white, it would open up the rooms more and show the art to better effect.. at the moment they are all neutral magnolia with darker carpets. Nice shot.

Well done! I wish I was aging half as graciously as the fine examples you set for us all... Yor contentments, and your examples of appreciation for all things is much to be admired. Through your eyes, you give us all a measure of what we all have to be thankful for. Your postings have become treasures over the years that we can all treasure... most of all the pleasure of you sharing your life with us all! - Happy Holidays!

I can't begin to imagine how to knit a sweater! You did a marvelous job on both of these two, will you knit some for the boys next? Great self-portrait, Andrea, I think you look great!

Your excellently knitted sweater goes well with your red jeans, Andrea, and Fritz appears most content. And I try not to think of getting old, but the calendar, the mirror, and my aches, pains and quasi dementia bring me back to stark reality.

A lovely sweater Andrea and for a moment I thought that you were wearing Sophie's new sweater. A lot of wonderful well deserved comments and I think that Tim (Technistrations) said it best!

"Age is just a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." ~ Mae West There is a company named Novica that brokers handicrafts from all over the world. You should see what they are charging for a sweater like this. Really fine work.

You are a very talented lady and this photo shows it! I also like looking at things on your walls. Perhaps you could one day do a collage of indoor places in your home.

It's a pleasure to see you Anrea, a lovely self portrait :)

Yes, dear, contentment is so very important. That one always feels happy about, being the one you are, huh? That's what I always told to our children. But you look lovely fto me, and I really don't like faces that have been "ironed out" by a surgeon. LOL! I love your sweater, although I liked the colors for Sophie more. Top, you got all this beautiful material to make such beautiful jumpers , Andrea.
