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.

What a lovely family portrait although Rosie always seems to be fixated on something. Thank you for all the wonderful imagery you've brought to us over the last year, Andrea. I hope your Christmas was wonderful. May you have a healthy and joyous New Year.

what a great card. All that light, the mirror with a smidgeon of reflection in it; in fact it looks like you've given it a bit of painterly treatment, like it's 'dripping paint' behind you, a really nice effect. You're wearing all these reds and purples, interspersed with greens and blues and blacks. (Your outfit is awash in those hues, with purples and reddish purples dominating)---all a strong contrast to the bright light in the pillows and throws. The dogs look very at home. And you're smiling ear to ear. Terrific, Andrea. And I hope your Christmas was blessed, and that you have a wonderful new year and 2017. And many more after that. You're an inspiration to everyone who knows you here. Great card. (Your clothes, scarves, etc, are as signature as your perfume bottles and many of the other things you have in your place. Tara always says we have to go there and "see it all". Your closets must be carnivals for the eyes.)
