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 very nice portrait shot of this chap, seems like a nice friendly place where service comes with a smile and so do the camera shots.

Well, from the looks of it, Basha certainly wasn't bashful when you took his portrait, if this splendid pic is any criterion, Andrea. And who is that lady peeking over his shoulder? Glad that he was a fun person. They are always welcome in this dour world.

I wonder if he is a UKIP supporter sporting that nice purple tie. Hop so we need more black and Asian people to help dispel the myth about UKIP being racist, they are not racist they are right, but let me digress and not wax too political, looks a darn nice guy to me Andrea, and I am pleased you got a nice meal with friends, must have done you the power of good.

Glad you had a lovely luncheon; sometimes it's nice to experience how the "haves" live! He looks like he's full of personality. A lovely portrait!

This image and the one on flickr (which made me laugh) show him to be both nice and very funny. An attractive combination. Excellent portrait. I like the lady looking over his shoulder too. Happy 70th to you all! Getting together for lunch at a posh hotel is a great way to celebrate! I checked out the menu. Triple cooked chips needed some investigation. I had never heard of them. I'm not that crazy about chips ('French fries' as we call them or in a ridiculous and thankfully short lived moment, 'freedom fries') I used to like the fries that were really crispy, but these days, I avoid fried foods most of the time. (A terrible thing for a 'girl' born in the Southern USA to admit.) Very pretty restaurant and appetizing menu!

What an attractive young man! I like the funny face as well. Nice to see someone who isn't taking themselves too seriously!

A handsome chap and a very nice dresser. He looks like an altogether person on the other side!

I was going to comment on how dignified he looked until I saw the other image. I agree with Tara. He sounds like he has a wonderful sense of humor. And you have given us a perfect photo bomb with this image.
