Golden Retriever and a Different Camera

I love to take my camera out on my walks, but some days, just the thought of lugging around the weight of my camera and lens for an hour is just too much to contemplate. So today, I dug out my old Samsung digital camera and gave it a go. The results weren't fantastic, but good enough to get a few shots of the new dog on my walks. Lottie is a gorgeous, blonde, golden retriever girl that I am walking while her owner recovers from a foot op.

The smiley girl herself.

Stopping for a quick scratch

Admiring the view at the start of our walk. Note the dark sky. It did rain briefly on our walk, much to the disgust of Lottie - for a dog that loves all forms of water, she sure does not like rain!

I was waiting for Lottie to catch up after an intense sniffing session, when a robin landed on a bush just beside me. I dug out my camera, expecting him to fly off, but luckily he sat and posed for a photo.

Overall the camera was not too bad. It is not that great for action shots or zoom photos, but it was fine to get a few shots of this girl when there was a threat of rain and saved me carrying my DSLR around with me. Will have to hope for a day with nice weather over the next couple of weeks to take my DSLR and get some even better photos of this lovely girl.
