- Hi, Sandra. Thanks for your comment, it is nice to hear from you – I did like those photographs of coloured leaves on your website. Yes, it is a pretty butterfly in the photograph, and I liked the shadow. It is a delight to see butterflies in Coldstream, a variety of them, and so early this year – a couple of years ago I didn’t see a single one round here until September. I have planted a bed of wildflowers next to my studio to attract butterflies and bees, so hope to see some more over the summer.

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.
