Beautifully pastoral. There’s something about rivers that’s so calming…

- Thank you, Steven – I have put several similar views up on WordPress but in this one I thought the fields and the Cheviots had a tranquil air that I liked.

  - Thank you, Steven, it is so good to know that you react in this way to my images. I think taking photographs, and indeed looking at the countryside of the Scottish Borders has a calming effect! We are just on the verge of Coldstream’s Civic Week, and I can hear revellers in the street below, so maybe the next week won’t be as calm as usual….

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. 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.
