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.

Beautiful.

Hi, Steven. Glad you liked the photograph, I think the tree set itself off nicely against the yellow field. However, I probably won’t be walking round there again for a while because of the sweet scent and the pollen – I think of these fields of rape as “sneezy fields”.

It certainly looks sneezy. The dark sky and flecks of yellow are a beautiful contrast. The tree really does set it off, though. Beautifully done.

Thank you, Steven. Sneeziness is wearing off now, as the yellow softens. I have always liked that tree, so was glad to get a portrait of it that showed up its nice shape.
