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.

Beautiful family photo. Now that I'm retired I have nothing to do, and sure wish I had a family like yours! :-)

I'm only back for a few this time, Andrea, but I always wind up doing more in your gallery because it's hard not to. I loved this shot when you posted it, I love it now. We've seen shots of your family, and they're always special; what makes this special is the mix of faces, the great smile in your granddaughter, the big sunglasses smile of your daughter-in-law, and the serious concentrated look of your son. Smart looking family. The black and white is perfect---love the flooding light in the background, almost dissolving the greenery---and the darker shadowed tones of your family are perfect contrast. Wonderful portrait of loved ones.
