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.

He drove in the days before elf and safety. Today he'd be told you cannot have a dog in the cab ::::Roles eyes::::

Well, given my druthers, I'd like to sit in the garden and feed the birds and smoke and come in only if there was a dog to snuggle up to! :P I haven't smoked for years, but I'm planning on taking it up again when I'm old. Wonderful photograph!

Well I'd sit in the garden with my cup of tea, a rug to cover me and a dog to snuggle with. When Leya is in the mood, she is quite the snuggler. I think as she grows out of this puppy thing, she will be the champion snuggler!! I see that Fritz excels at it. this is a wonderful portrait Andrea, Alan looks as though perhaps he misses having his own dog. I think Nursing Homes should allow resident dogs .. or even the more mobile residents to have their own dogs. You can see how the atmosphere changes when you walk in with your dogs.

If Fritz is comfortable in Alan's lap then I like Alan - a very nice photo!
