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.

wonderful portrait

A very handsome fellow and rather distinguished looking. I don't know if you have friends or family who get along with Byron. I promised my friend from Canterbury that I would take her cat Molly should anything happen to her but Molly passed a year ago and Pauling followed just a few months ago.

Beautifully capture. An interesting subject you brought up. One never thinks about something like this when one is younger, because life goes on forever!

What a beautiful friend you have, I had three of this, but when my kid was born, the pediatrician told us that we must choice between parrots or a healty kid! (Sometimes I tell my wife that maybe we chose badly)

What a handsome fella, good to know he will be well looked after. My friend has a parrot, she fascinates me as she talks so well & answers your questions.

He's quite the handsome guy; I had no idea they lived so long.

What a gorgeous bird. I bet he loves you very much. If you pass before he does he might pine. I had a cockatiel who pulled her feathers out when her parakeet friend passed. I hope Byron will get a chance to adjust to someone new before you die.

He is a very handsome fellow. That's not a fun proposition, considering what to do for one's "children". I'm sure you'll figure out a good place for him, but hopefully you won't need it for quite some time yet!
