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.

40 years is a long time.

Perfect title for this misty, dappled shadow of things past. How do you photograph a memory? This is how. These things are so valuable they deserve space in your gallery and of course in your heart. Were you his/her second owner? I've been told parrots can live to a hundred.

No, I had Byron from a chick, he was about 4 months old, hand reared as he was rejected by his mother.

Sad he is gone, but good to have a sweet memory to think about. :)

Bill makes an excellent point and your image is a perfect example of that point.
