It was very hard to come up with a title for this as everything I thought of had already been taken by other bloggers or websites.
My daughter suggested Shutterbug so I googled it's meaning.
Shutterbug: An avid hobbyist in the field of amateur photography. It is also an insulting term for a professional photographer.
As I'm not a professional I'm not insulted and the term describes me very well and as I'm having a ball with my camera, then that will be my blog title. Thank you Karen for your input.
Welcome to the ball, there will be wine and cake to celebrate my first post, help yourself,but please wash your glass before you leave.
My first photos are of The Little Loch where we walk our German Shepherd dog Sam. It's 15 mins in the car from our home. He's not too keen on dogs he hasn't been formally introduced to and on a Saturday and Sunday morning this place is very quiet except for two sheepdogs in a field that he enjoys barking at.
We used to come here when the children were young with the dog we had then but the loch is now out of bounds as it's used for fishing although we have never seen anyone fish. I hate it when the countryside has barbed wire fences it really spoils the view.
