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.

Ralph looks like a rel sweet heart. I know how difficult it is to see your furry companion grow old. Do wish they could hang out with us for many, many more years--I just lost my beloved Chloe yesterday, and I am sort of numb--would have given her 10 years of my life to add to hers. Just keep him active since it really does help with a dog's longevity. Give Ralph a big hug from me

Such wonderful images of the old man. You once predicted he wouldn't last the summer. One more week and he will make a liar out of you. I'm pulling for Ralph.
