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 super fine shot Andrea and one for the Feb challenge on the letter T. Frogs are in our pond but as yet no spawn.

Brilliant pic Andrea

He certainly looks up for it... a friend of the garden, if Rosie licked him she will be seeing flying dogs for a while (chuckle). Nice shot.

Wonderful!

WOW! That is indeed a beauty. Love this shot. Hope Rosie is alright !!

He looks like a big bruiser. Poor Rosie can be forgiven for not knowing if this was something to eat or play with. Two great shots of the king of the pond.

Wonderful capture I hope Rosie is okay

Gahlawd! I thought peeling gold leaf paint was a find, but a gold leaf toad? What hath God wrought? Awesome capture of the amphibian, A. Love that texture. And Rosie goes where angels fear to tread.

well wouldn't you be grumpy if some dog came up and kissed you just after you woke up from a long hibernation? awesome portrait of Grumpy.
