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.

oh I love the whole idea! And I love the artwork right alongside the photos...I didn't realize you had so many lodgers! And what an array of people. The flickr shot shows even more: From your gallery, your place looks like a whole metropolitan area of art, art objects, bottles, incredible oddities, you name it. Your fans, including me, could have a heyday in your place. A real carnival of great looking things...And it's fun to figure out which of them were by you...Btw, the shot has great angles and motion. Love both shots.

Visiting your place could pose a problem. I'd never get anywhere for looking. I see Fritz and what looks like Hettie. Are all the dogs yours?

I agree with Mark. It would take me a couple weeks to look at your house! It's like a wonderful museum!

Having been in your house, I can assure Tara and Mark that a couple of weeks wouldn't begin to touch it; the garden alone is a lifetime of exploration, and the house even more! Everywhere you look there's something to fascinate. I love seeing the bits that you share with us, focusing on the things that mean something to you. And I'm really drawn to that little picture of the nasturtiums in this shot!

Absolutely I love the pastels of your four-legged friends. So much talent on your wall, I suspect you can do your their own exhibition in your home (to fill your purse?). I too would like to know which were created by your hand (and brain, of course). Thank you for this beautiful show. Now I go quickly to your Flickr link, Andrea.

Extremely beautiful wall displays Andrea.
MrsRatbag is one very fortunate person, and she has expressed her thoughts so well.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful dedication to your friends and lodgers Andrea.
P. S.
Sounds like you have a very big winter project on the way !
Really looking forward to see some pics. and bits of your manuscripts that you can share with us some time in the future.
