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.

OH! That beautiful little doggie couldnt live any longer. It is so sad to say good bye to our pets. He lived a long and wonderful life with you, so he was very lucky. Good to think about, when he is no more. Even though he isnt home, he will still live in your memories. That is a good thing :) Hugs.

I can see in Fritz's face that bless him he was ready to go to rainbow bridge. I always let my animals see the one who has passed then they are not looking for them.

Poor fellow, what was he, fifteen or sixteen? I've come to hate winter. Just about everyone I've lost has died in winter. And this is three for me since I started visiting your gallery, Hettie, Buster and now Fritz. You can't help but miss their unique personalities. My sincere condolences, Andrea.

I came out of my absence to bow to Fritz's wonderful life and all the happiness he brought you, and to your other dogs. He became family for us, even though we weren't there and didn't do any of what you did for him. And it may sound silly, but I'm grateful to have 'met' him...through you. Sweet condolences to you and your dogs. Thank you for bringing him into our lives...
