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.

A lovely portrait of Ralph, he is indeed a handsome chap, the James Bond of dogs... he has a refinement to him and it shines through.

Sure, he is handsome, and what an attitude, as if the world is his, and he enjoys this. He sees everything with his whole being. Thereby also so confident of its beauty. A perfect picture of this regal proud Ralf! Bravo :)

He looks very wise in this pic, I am sure he is too, especially with his war wounds.

Ralphie has such a heroic profile. He reminds me of images from the early 20th century of British heroes I have seen. I can imagine him with a row of medals given in appreciation for his defense of his little corner of Bournemouth. An excellent picture.
