I am a 48 year old diabetic who is married with two grown up daughters. I have a 2 year old Jack Russell Terrier called Belle whom I just love to bits.



Some of my favourite quotes are

'He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.'

"A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself."

"If looking back hurts you and looking forward scares you, then look beside you and I will always be here for you"


THE BEST PLACE TO BURY A DOG
by Ben Hur Lampman

"There is one best place to bury a dog.
"If you bury him in this spot, he will
come to you when you call - come to you
over the grim, dim frontier of death,
and down the well-remembered path,
and to your side again.

"And though you call a dozen living
dogs to heel, they shall not growl at
him, nor resent his coming,
for he belongs there.

"People may scoff at you, who see
no lightest blade of grass bent by his
footfall, who hear no whimper, people
who may never really have had a dog.
Smile at them, for you shall know
something that is hidden from them,
and which is well worth the knowing.

"The one best place to bury a good
dog is in the heart of his master."

I just love taking photo's since the late 70,s. Most of my early pictures are on slides to which I am slowly transferimg to digital

I really like the idea of sharing photos and like commenting on my contact's work everyday. I'm really sorry if I don't add you back :( if you comment on my work I will try and take a look at your photos too. I won't add you if you have thousands of contacts, I just don't see how people can keep up!! As I said above, I make sure I comment on my contacts as regularly as possible, if you NEVER comment any of mine, I will probably drop you, even if I like your work... sorry!!

I dont make many changes to my pictures as i believe a picture should be taken and not made, therefore I dont use the likes of Photoshop or GIMP. The most i usually do is crop my pics.

"No matter how advanced your Camera is you still need to be responsible for getting it to the right place at the right time and pointing it in the right direction to get the photo you want."
