Liddesdale: Lambs

I found something touching about these two lambs, poised on the edge of a stream, on a May evening, with the sun catching their fleece, and their slight aura of anxiety.

“Little Lamb who made thee

Dost though know who made thee”

- Yes, the kind of anxiety of the young not quite knowing what they have got into.

- Yes, it was the light that moved me, that early summer evening light filtered through leaves – I liked that way it touched the fleece. Thank you for your comment, Annette.

About

I’m Cara, and I live in Coldstream, in the Scottish Borders As well as writing and illustrating books for children I have recently been painting on canvas, in my octagonal studio (aka The Tardis) which inhabits a corner of the vegetable garden. My work for children has been published in several countries, and translated into different languages. My favourite form at the moment is the picture book, but I have also had published poetry, children’s novels, and illustrations for the work of other authors, and have worked extensively on projects with children. I go out most days with my camera and create blog entries from the results. Some of the pictures I take will be used as background material for the picture book which I am working on at the moment. My son Matty set up this WordPress blog for me, and it has added a dimension to my life which surprises me. It is also interesting and inspiring to read the blogs of other people from different parts of the world, and to look at their sometimes fascinating pictures.
