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.

Oh, what a handsome creature. Not exactly the sort of thing I expected to see. Robins are different birds here in the USA, and I'm looking forward to their arrival. They should be getting here soon: when you hear robin-calls, you know that spring has either arrived or is not far away. It's always depressing when they leave in autumn. Now as for this robin: well...simply perfect. I love the rich colors: they're lighter than I'm accustomed to, and they're magical. Great details too!

Great shot Andrea a pair seem to be paying a lot of attention to a Yucca outside our bedroom window so possibly this years nest site.
