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.

God Bless Audrey for reaching her 90th! That is absolutely wonderful to hear that someone of her age is still walking and enjoying what life has to offer! What a lovely card of these doggies! How very sweet and cuddly!

You know how I love seeing the photos of the dogs! This is just so beautiful, and so makes causes that "awwwww" to escape from my mouth, grins.

Rosie keeps watch while the old boys doze. A wonderful family portrait. Can't help but smile.

Great family group, always love Ralphies expressions. Fritz going as fast as his little legs will go :o)

I guess Rosie has the most energy of your lovely group, Andrea. And what a great story behind this card for Audrey. On her blessed age of 90 years, and still taking a walk with you every weekend, 'hallelujah' ;-)

Most ironic that both Fritz and Ralphie dozed off while in preparation for having their photo taken for Audrey's 90th, Andrea. Lots of contrast, patterns and texture in this fine photo.

That is a lovely card with the great trio in a chilled out moment... ideal for a 90th birthday, a different kind of card.

Such a nice card for Audrey! You're a good sport, taking pics for everyone. :P

the first a bon vivant, then an alertly and an aristocrat, the perfect family!

Another beautiful shot of your canine family, and beautifully placed too. The way they blend into that zebra-striped blanket/sheet is wonderful. And Fritz is blissfully at rest, while Ralph does that dog trick of sleeping while looking upright. Rosie's the only one wide awake. Beautiful portrait once more, and so very sweet and restful. This is a terrific series, you gotta know that.

A fantastic family portrait Andrea and Fritz looks like he is running out of gas over on the FlickR side of things!
