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.

Perfect title for this closeup. Yes, I remember Terry Thomas, he was a good actor/comedian. Creative shot.

That was a bit tricky - holding the snout and taking the pic at the same time !! I remember Tommy Terrace !!

Spot on, right down to the mustache. I have the same gap between my front teeth.

I didn't realize Fritz had dental issues; he's still gorgeous anyway!

I remember Terry Thomas and I do see the resemblance. My favorite movie was "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" but then again, every comic was in that movie. Hard to believe that he has been gone for 25 years. Fritz is better looking!

Lol, and I remember Mr Thomas--all Fritz needs is the mustache!!

"You bounder, you absolute cad, make me look an absolute Charlie!" Love TT, he was superb in those magnificent men in their flying machines. So yes, I remember him well, and the fact that he died penniless too, such a shame.

I do remember him as a consummate actor! interesting story connecting with Fritz. Great capture, though I think Fritz might disagree

oh I remember T.Thomas, and when you posted this, I saw the name and smiled from ear to ear, thinking, "what in the world did she post, that had to do with Terry Thomas???" When I saw the teeth, I knew exactly! In America, he was an archetypal English "type," the way some of our actors were archetypal American types back then. He was very funny, and I totally remember his teeth. Great shot---and I wonder if Fritz was bothered by your pulling back his upper lips that way. Love that you did this. (I'd pay if he turned around and said, "wait'll you see my John Cleese!") Love it. Great dog shot! (Isn't it amazing what domestication does? Go to an animal in the wild, grab it and pull its upper lips back---see how long he stands still!)
