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!
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!
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 good purchase, may it be reliable and serve you well in the coming years.. I believe they are pretty reliable cars. I take it you are selling the old one soon?... try an avoid getting into the old one and driving off.. especially with no insurance!... old habits can die hard even with the new car beside it in the drive. last thing you want is a pull in the wrong car with no insurance. :-(

A Volvo is always a great car although a bit dated! Excellent capture! :)

They both look to be in great condition. Getting to know a new car is a little like bringing a new dog into the home with its own personality and quirks. Have fun.

Very nice POV, contrast and composition in this momentous snap, A. I still have my antique stick-shift Honda Accord LX that I purchased new in 1987 for 12,500 dollars. It has aged much better, with far fewer physical problems , than I have over the years.

The right one looks much like the one my sister in law is still using with great pleasure. These volvos are lasting for a great while mostly, so good luck with your new vehicle :-)))))))))))

What a steal! You have excellent luck with your autos, Andrea!

My first new car was a 1966 Volvo 122S, which gave me excellent service for those times. Hope yours proves its equal!
