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.

one of your typically signature expressive faces. That great 3 pronged nose, the jowl lines, the long shape, etc, and that signature adam's apple. And here you put her eyes right next to each other to convey an intense confusion or even a little resignation. With a slight tilt of the head to back it up. Terrific. And I love how you have necks coming out of chasmic collars---you could fit a locomotive in some of those collars! Terrific caricaturing/portraiture. Just enough wash too.
(did you know that 'Adam's apple' was named for a little forbidden fruit caught in the throat? i don't have anything to add to that, just thought I'd throw it out on the small chance you didn't know it...)
