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.

Curious that he is skittish when he is so fearless with intruders who enter the garden. A fantastic portrait of this anxious warrior.

Gorgeous capture of your handsome buddy. He is lucky to now be with someone that protects him and understands what he is coping with.

A lovely pic of Ralphie. I hate to see them upset. Munsters as a breed suffer fron separation anxiety.

Wonderful pic. of Ralphie. He does look a tad fearful and skittish. Luckily you are so understanding of his issues Andrea.

Poor baby, that's so hard for them. I had a dog, Basil, who was terrified of thunder and fireworks and gunshots, all of which were frequent occurrences, especially in Virginia (thunderstorms all the time in summer!) He would tremble uncontrollably for hours afterward and couldn't be reassured. I felt so bad for him. Ralphie is such a handsome boy!

Poor pup. It's sad that he suffers so much from the noise. He's such a handsome boy!

Bless his heart. I'm sure he feels much comfort by having you close by during those frightening storms. Very good portrait shot of Ralphie.
