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 find that I melt in heat now. It is to be avoided at all cost. AC is now my best friend. I am also an avid reader. Now that I have changed jobs I hope to have more time. I love this picture. It makes me smile.

I cannot take the heat either anymore. So its a good thing to read.... well not at the moment for me. Can´t read books now.

if it is above 75 F. then forget it, I don't want to do anything. If I'm trying to sleep, anything above 68 is too warm as well.
I love reading - Just finishing Mark Twain's 'The man who corrupted Hadleyburg : a fascinating read on human psychology.
Great image

I've recently finished "A Tale for the Time Being" by Ruth Ozeki, and "Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore" by Robin Sloan. Both were worthy reads. I'm also tripping through a VERY light murder mystery series in which the detectives are a group of quilters in a small fictional town in my home state. I like to switch back and forth between fluffy and chewy.
