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.

A new year where new water grows, nobody will be thirsty on this planet, and everybody will have such a bright view as on your amazing New Year Card, Andrea. Good health, as joyful creativity to you too, Andrea.

I'm way late on getting to everyone's New Year cards, but better late than never. This is a beautiful photo, Andrea! It has a gentle olive-amber tone, and the layers of waves above the reflective sand, and below that beautiful green-blue sky, are so peaceful and 'right'. With that one lone gull checking it all out. (I'd like to think you stood there and shouted, "no...a little to the left...that's right...now turn away, look like you're pruning yourself...good...good...") Happy New Year to you too, and I hope 2018 brings a lot more good your way than the end of 2017 did. A splendid shore pic. A beautiful mellow tone...
