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.

Love the sea! We have rain here today in Jensen Beach, FL so my Maltese, Mickey and me can't do our seaside walk today. Here is a link to our live Beach Cam: (Our views look so similar; hopefully you can view it sometime when the time change isn't at dark for the U.S.) http://www.evsmartin.com/index.htm Have A Wonderful Week & Give The Dogs A Treat! - Mickey & Tim

The sea is at its warmest right now so I don't blame them for taking a dip. Nice shot.

There's something about going to the beach, isn't there? Maybe it's the familiarity, or the open space, or the rhythm and the sound ... but it's like a vacation to spend even an hour there! Wonderful photos.

Oh, this is full of good feelings for me. The love of the beach (any beach) is yet another thing that Tara and I have in common. This was the biggest thing I missed living 31 years in the central USA (Kansas) but that is all remedied now:)
