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.

I like them both but this one is really fine work. Actor/Comedian Steve Martin once told the story of what happened to him when he was making a movie in Colorado. The film was "Roxanne" and it was a modern take on Cyrano. Martin played the Cyrano character. One day they stopped the filming for lunch. Since the makeup took hours to put on Martin went into a nearby saloon for a bite to eat still wearing the nose. One of the locals, wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, saw him and what do you think he said? That's right. So you see, it isn't always a horse.
