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.

Watching me, watching you! :) I suppose the second you looked away, he reached under his wing and whipped out a camera and caught you on the bank. :P

At the mo? Is time that short? Magnificent composition and mood ambience in this pic of the regal waterfowl, as it perceives your actions, A.

Beautiful and majestic birds, watching them come into land you can see the power in their wings. Quick message to Eastern European migrants... leave the swans alone guys, they are protected by the crown, not for you to come here capture and club or shoot to fill your family stomachs, that also goes for our freshwater fish too, hence the reason so many waters these days don't allow fishing and certainly no night fishing.
