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.

Amazing double nuts and bolts on that. Some dogs like water whilst others seem to keep away from it, dear ole buster clearly enjoyed it. He is greatly missed but his legacy is set in stone and continues in the many images you have, as indeed they do for others here who have lost beloved dogs, cats and others much missed pets.

Splendid focus and lighting in this one, Andrea. And, I know that if ever got a bolt in the groyne I would be bent over and screaming most loudly.

I'm nuts about both photos! They look new also - the salt water must effect them too!
