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 believe this old guy has earned the right to move a little slow. He looks like a love.

The old warrior at rest. He carries his scares from previous battles but still stands ever ready to defend the home.

I am not at home unless there is a dog hair or two. When my son went off to Uni, I gave him an envelope with dog hair in it so he could feel at home Love the pics of Ralph.

another delightful shot in your dog series. Ralphie always looks like he's so into rest when he's resting, and he also looks very comfortable in that blanket or throw (afghan, whatever it may be). Delightful shot and expression on his face. And the houndstooth throw looks very comfortable. And it makes a nice end to the down-flowing fabrics behind it. Delightful.
(If I recall, from my design-study days, houndstooth originated in Scotland. So how did it become common in the middle east, I wonder?)
