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.

This is a very lovely scene Andrea and it is good you remember Buster and the good times. The mouse poo you commented to Helle about is probably bats!

I always pictured a heath as a type of field filled with heather. Of course, I got that picture from reading fiction stories so I guess it is to be expected. I am glad to see a photo of the real thing now.

Very nice capture. I'm sure buster is with you in spirit.. not far away, we shall never forget buster and we have plenty of great moments to relive time and time gain by just going back through your gallery, and of course he is with us all when we view every new post.. that amazing swimming image of him up to his neck in it with his tail pointing up when swimming, it always makes me smile... a legend of photographic adventure he was and still remains.

So beautiful, and I'll bet Buster was definitely there in spirit. Glad you and the dogs finally got to get out in the sun.

A lovely image and yes things are drying out nicely and I am sure Busters ghost is still splashing in that stream.

I totally understand what you are talking about. It is strange here, too sharing a dog for walks, Hubby does the morning walk, I do the evening walk. Both views of your walk are wonderful, each has it's charms, looking back at the stand of birch is wonderful, but so it the view going forward.

I love both views. So similar to the wild places I roam here, I think I would feel right at home there.

I really like the birch trees on the FlickR side but is looks like all that rain is turning things green on the RR side.
