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.

You're post work has turned a bell made of some base metal into a lovely silver work of art. My cat used to come at the sound of the can opener.

I like both bell photos and had to laugh about rattling the biscuit box - in our house it was the old electric can opener.

Yes, mine all come at the sound of a can lid being opened. Their internal clocks are amazing sometimes. I love the postwork on this, beautifully done!

Trent and David had an indoor cat that got out several years ago. They wandered around the neighborhood rattling the treat can, calling the cat. Apparently many cats come to the sound of a rattling treat can, because they met a LOT of neighbor cats! LOL! Maybe you should rattle the treat box, then ring the bell. Maybe she'll learn to associate the sounds and come to the sound of the bell. I've got a timer on my phone now that goes off every three hours so we remember to take Mandy out often enough. She's not reliable these days about asking. Now whenever the harp sounds from the phone, she gets up (assuming she's awake) and waits to go out. Love the pic, btw. :)
