It can be very complicated taking photos of animals in the garden. Focusing on a tabby cat's stripes is a challenge, and as soon as the photographer crouches down for an eye level shot the cat moves closer to say hello.

Cats strike memorable poses in the garden when the camera is inside, and then wander off, bored, as soon as the photographer is ready. Dogs will sit for a photograph, because sitting is something they're taught to do, but they'll always look the same.

My garden is full of all sorts of other animals including sheep, countless bird species, frogs, and ducks. But the only animals with any pictures are the cats and the dogs.

Dog Jumping into Pond... Mon 3rd Jan 2011 Picture (1060*803px / 467kb): This action photograph of Rusty the red Border Collie dog jumping into the Moosey pond was taken by Thomas Pickard, a wonderful relative and a professional photographer.

Tortoiseshell Cat... Thu 5th Oct 2006 Picture (1024*715px / 335kb): Tiger, my striped cat with white paws, is stretching up to jump into the house window. I call her a tabby, but our vet calls her a tortoiseshell - perhaps she is a bit of both?
Dirty Dog!... Sat 5th Aug 2006 Picture (1024*768px / 337kb): Rusty is a red Border Collie, and is supposed to have a beautiful cream face, with darker orange highlights. Oops - he's found something grubby in my garden to investigate. Dirty dog!
