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.

My boys also like the chairs, when visitors come, they are most put out to have to move. They also like piglets, but prefer them cooked hehe! What a delightful elderly lady, I bet she could tell some great tales too.

Joan looks a very jolly lady, lovely pics.

Smiles- Joan looks very happy to have Ralph next to her ! How-ever I like how his curiosity got the best of him to get him off the chair. Thanks for sharing these awesome photos Andrea.

Old sleepy eyes. Joan looks lovely.

"The human is smiling, my work here is done, time for a nap." As for the piglet, as soon as Ralph and Fritz realized they could not play with it or eat it they lost interest, A wonderful image and the piglet one is very cute.

A wonderful double portrait. Ralph looks a little sleepy.

Very sweet pic, Andrea. Glad to see that you and the boys are still visiting the nursing homes. :)

This is a marvel and I really love the expressions on their faces: Joan looks like she's fun to talk to and Ralph looks dapper but also mid-nap; and that's pretty hard, most people don't look dapper while snoozing, but Ralph manages.
