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.

Rosie looks right at home in this visiting role of hers. The lady seems to be enjoying her company as well.

What a lovely capture of them both enjoying each others company, when I see moving shots such as this I find the troubles of the world temporarily melt away and remind us clearly what really should matter in life. A Merry Christmas Andrea.

Who wouldn't love having Rosie pay a visit? Great portrait of these two!

Touching piece, Andrea, as many of your visits to nursing homes are. Touching interaction between the woman and Rosie. And your postwork in the back right half is beautiful, and wholly non-intrusive. You do that often, and I have never succeeded at it---ie, postworking parts of an image, but not others; and having it all come out naturally. A sensitive shot all around, and fitting for the true spirit of Christmas (rather than the one we're bombarded with from late November on...)
