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!
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!
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.

a joyous and beautiful christmas image for us, and so joyous and peaceful. You look radiant (I mean that, now, I'm not being polite!), a big great beautiful countenance. And your dogs are so warm and loving, all bundled up with you. And the surroundings are opulent---and a great shirt!!! love that shirt!!!---and you even snuck in your edge work in the mirror---voila! A lovely joyous portrait, and I hope the holidays have been wonderful for you too, Andrea. It's always a pleasure to share your world, and I hope I can continue to for years to come. Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year!!!

What a fabulous portrait of you and the pups! You chose the perfect top and pants for the Christmas Portrait, holiday colors for sure. I notice that Fritz and you are the only ones looking at the camera, Rosie and Ralphie seem to be intent on something else. I wonder why dogs don't seem to like looking in the camera, do they see it as another eye staring at them?
