I want to change the world one smile at a time!

I wouldn't leave the house without my small brown dog and compact camera. Charlie and I go walking most days withim a ten mile radius of our home and after the initial ball play we begin to 'hunt' and sniff about for 'the picture'. I spend a lot of time on the Somerset levels and have a bad case of trench foot. I am starting to get webbed toes and feel totally at home out on the moors. I feel so lucky to be a spit away from all these wonderful wide spaces crammed with birds, flowers bugs and wee beasties.

I love nature with all my heart and since I got my laptop and Lumix panasonic TZ5 compact camera I have become quite obsessed with it. I used to paint watercolours but I seem to have replaced that for the time being with photography.
I am learning all the time and would be grateful for any information on classification or photo tips as I am still an amateur.
I really hope you all enjoy looking through my collections as much as I have creating them.

    "Well what can I say,
    Joy is a one of those rare people who is a freind you just havent met yet. After an invitation to go down to Somerset and meet her, husband Stuart, and the most lovable dog called Charlie. Not forgetting a fellow Flickrite Cosper Wosper,(Graham). I had the most warm greeting I have had for too many years I care to remember. Joy and Graham took me for walks to all their favourite places on the Somerset levels, a haven for photographers, and I had a truly marvellous time.
    As well as being an extremely talented photographer, with a deep seated love for all things natural, Joy is a wonderful musician. I have too say it was an honour to meet such a lovely woman who is still a girl at heart.
    Thank you for a wonderful time, all we can take from this life, are memories, and this one will always be at the very top of the list for me.

    Thank you......Bob"
