How it all started?

I came across this photo of myself taken by MaggieD on my 25th birthday. (48 years ago!) I received from my then fiancé the gift of a small instamatic camera which really got me started on taking regular photos. 
After a very wet start, we did get out for a good walk this afternoon but it was still sopping wet underfoot - and paw. Chloe was not that impressed, she really does not like to get wet!
