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.

I've read the same thing about dogs, they can bring down blood pressure in large leaps...all your dog photos are healing, and this is beautiful, Andrea. A wonderful portrait for Tara. Get well soon, Tara, and I hope your problems go away for good!!!.
(ps---Ive seen every upload of yours, Andrea, I just haven't been able to comment, but I will...)

The kids always bring a smile to my face. I'm sure they will do the same for Tara. Let's hope her medical problems are brief.

Oh yes, that's true! I think Bill & Tara need to get another dog since Mandy's gone now...THAT will fix it, I'm sure. I love how Rosie looks so worried in this shot. Great capture of the furkids!

Thank you, my friend! This is just what I needed to bring a smile to my face. Please give them a nice long rub, stroke and pet from me ... the best kind, because I'm quite good at that ... and tell them not to worry. I'm much better already, thanks to some good medical intervention and the loving concern of my friends, both two- and four-legged. :)
