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.

Looks so comfortable. Nice photo of him! Keep up the good work! :-)

For a while I didn’t like Ralphie because of his nasty habit of killing visitors to your garden. But now that he is the last survivor of the four you had when I first started visiting your gallery I find I’ve grown rather fond of the old boy. This is such an evocative image and one of your best with Ralphie.

The image speaks volumes....bless him.

He looks tired, but so comfortable! Your dog photographs are remarkable. SO good!

Well! Mark (wysiwig) revealed that he didn't like Ralphie! I hope you didn't tell Ralphie! I picture you sitting with him, as he carries on for hours, "what did I do wrong? I never hurt that guy...I'm good looking...I'm well read..." Another great dog photo, it captures just what you described. and having had dogs in the past, I know this phase very well. Great capture to add to your already huge collection of great dog shots. And the flickr makes it look like he's wearing a shawl over his head. Love both of these!
