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.

Lol, what a delightful birthday gift! (And Mies deserves it many times over.) I love when your imagination just "riffs" and improvises. That column with the foot on it---from a statue? (Maybe it's one of the gods) I love it! (That's an Andrea Foot, btw. No one does feet like yours.) And the two eyes peeping out, below? And a half arch? Love it. And who walks into the midst? A hen with long curly hair, a purple dress, and the best feet this side of Pluto. Your drawings are caricatures and cartoons of anything! I mean, you don't have to cartoon people---you do them of buildings and ruins and animals and sidewalks. Delightful! And a big and health-giving happy birthday to Mies, one of our kindest and most inspired residents. Many many more Jacomina---you deserve it! A wonderful, warm and witty dedi, Andrea.

Oh, Andrea, your imagination knows no boundaries, this is a bit of a mystery to me, as if my eyes go very quickly from one particular detail, and color, to another funny detail. Really, I have no idea how I would look like, if I came back to this earth in the form of a chicken. Do you think I would be like this cool appearance? I could show off my feathers in my "back" then, haha, this is really too funny, Andrea. I love that blue color, which kind of patches on the background, as all the purple feathers, it coul dhelp me right now against our cold. :D
