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.

Sweet capture

Ralphie sad? Proposterous! He just can't believe his wonderful life! He looks peacefully reflective to me...

A lovely capture there Andrea, Ralph has such great character... very photogenic, poor fellow went through so much in his past until you rescued him and gave him the love he deserved, I'm sure now those memories have evaporated from his mind and any sadness that may appear to be in this shot is merely an illusion...only the best for our Ralph.. and we see it in all the wonderful captures you have shared with us. Well done.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

A very sweet portrait. He's probably wondering who woke him and what happened to that fox he was just chasing.

It's those big doleful eyes.

Great portrait of Ralphie, pensively pondering his existence and purpose in the world. Perhaps to do battle with foxes.

Aww, he just looks like he's not quite awake yet. What a lovely face he has!

I always think that's more of a warm, snuggly look than a sad one. A lovely portrait!

Yes, there's sorrow there, sorrow that he was disturbed from his warm, snuggly dreams, giggles. Ralphie always has such a deep in thought look about him .. so wise and all knowing .. when in reality he's probably thinking of his breakfast, or dinner.

So nice expression !

Ralph does look to be in deep thought but I don't think it is sadness!
