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!Â
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! Â
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 my!! This is just way too sweet. And yes, he does look like an elderly gentelman sitting in the sun. I hope all he is ok after the surgery.

Priceless!

Oh, wow! This is great! And he seems to appreciate the hat (no sun in his eyes!). Not often an animal accepts being dressed like this. Hope he recovers quickly! Thanks for the laugh. Keep up the good work! :-)

I assume this was taken while Ralphie was painting in his garden at Giverny. Very cute and a very tolerant dog.

Oh, Ralphie is so dignified; such a beautiful soul he has! Hope he recovers well from his op. Give him hugs from me... <3
