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.

LOL! I remember much of the 60s only by virtue of the fact that I was quite young for the early part. The later years are bathed in a mostly pleasant haze, I'm afraid...I wanted my hair to look like this, as well as my hips, but my family genetics made for a different picture. Oh well, maybe in my next life! Thanks for the memories!

Thank you for the birthday wishes Andrea - I'm now 73 - but I will take up the challenge and when I find that special 60s photo - I will let you know and we can post them on the same day! OK with you? I may have to dig back into my Navy days!

Far out man! Totally awesome dude! I kind of miss those days. We were young and reasonably good looking, idealistic and really stupid. And we had no clue what was in store for us.

I'm just a child in comparison to many of my friends here of course (ahem), but I did have long, straight (albeit black) hair when I was a teen. It wasn't the 60s. Oh no, far from it. I believe it was between about 1970 and 1975. LOL! I like Jeff's comment about the bra, as if the 60s were the only time one didn't have to wear such a thing! :P I won't tell you how long it's been. (Well, I'd tell YOU, but I figure not everybody needs to know! LOL!)

LOL this is one time I am very glad to be so late in commenting. What fun to read all the comments about how we looked in those days. Like Tara I also was still a kid in the 60's, but that long straight hair was still in style in the 70's also and boy did I wish for it. I remember trying to straighten my hair by ironing it among other things. Never did get it because my natural curls were just too stubborn. I can't wait to see the photos of you and Dana in the 60s. :) What a fun photo this is.
