About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am an amateur photographer from Newcastle upon Tyne. I live with my husband, Graeme, alongside our 7 dogs, 3 cats and 2 ferrets. We are both interested in dog agility and I have recently started some gundog training. As well as our own dogs, I run a dog walking and pet care service. I am also studying canine behaviour and training, so always have a dog or two as a good photographic subject. I have completed two basic photography courses as well as a night photography course, to try to improve my existing skills, as well as develop new skills and find some new subjects for my photography. I shoot most of my photos with a Nikon D3000. I have two lenses - the 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 and the 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6. I mainly use the 55-300 lens, as it covers most bases for the type of photography I enjoy. I also have a Nissin Di622 Mark II flashgun and have recently been gifted a Manfrotto tripod.

Cat in a Plant Pot

Well, I didn't think I would be taking photos again so quickly. Came home from work this afternoon, let the dogs in the garden and found one of my cats sunning himself in a plant pot on the patio. Could not miss the opportunity to get some photos, as he is black and photos are difficult at the best of times. Luckily he stayed put whilst I grabbed my camera and I got a few nice shots of him, for a change.

He does look a bit raggedy as he is 12-13 and is a bit of a fighter. No other cats come in our garden unless they want a good chase and he was heard fighting a couple of days ago, but luckily no injuries this time. In the house, he is the softest, most loving boy around and gets on well with my other 2 cats. Outside is a different matter and he will fight anything that comes within range.


Watching the dogs play
I have had enough of this posing lark, thank you!
He is called Puss Puss, but I did not name him. He came from a care home where I worked and already had the name. As I already knew him as Puss Puss, I could not think of another name that suited him, so it stuck.

Excuse me, I was enjoying a cat nap in the sun!
Well, I suppose I could open my eyes a  little and do a bit of
a pose for you


Puss Puss, my loveable rogue.
