I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities. --Dr. Seuss
Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Praying
It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones, just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.

"Cara is not only a wonderful photographer, she is a wonderful teacher. Generous of heart and spirit she helped me learn about composition and cropping. In my lonely beginning days, she became my contact and she commented faithfully, always positive even though it was not deserved, at times she made suggestions and took the time to help me grow in my craft.
It is her wonderful nature photos that taught me the most. Cara sees in a way that few others can and shows us a world that few others know is there. Through her magical photos she has taught me to see the beauty in the weed, the glory in a faded bloom, the magic in the delicate seed pod. Cara's photos opened my eyes to the beauty beyond the roses. For that I can not thank her enough. She changed the way I see the world, she taught me to love the dandelion and milkweed seed. So much of what I have become as a photographer, I owe to Cara and her vision. Thank you, Cara, thank you!!

"It doesn't take long being with Cara's images to realize she creates more than pictures. She enriches her world. To be able to know what the camera can see is special, but to know what the soul sees, and can feel, is mastery. Enjoy this master's works."

Mr. Greenjeans says:
"Cara was one of my earliest friends on Flickr, and is largely responsible for the way I look at things when I'm out looking for photo-ops.
She has a unique eye for the simple beauty that can be found in nature and life, and when I thought I knew her work pretty well, I discovered her world of abstracts!
A little moody at times, (sigh), but ALWAYS a pleasure to view!!!
Pull up a chair, pour a drink, and discover Cara's world...it's a beautiful one!!!"13th December, 2005

"Cara never stops to amaze me with her beautiful detailed images of nature. She has a gift to capture nature in all its aspects, especially the 'unseen' by many of us...
Cara posts work on a very regular basis and I'm always looking forward to go view her 'contribution of the day'!"8th November, 2005

"Cara
An eye for detail
sharp detail
sharp exacting
thoroughgoing detail
macro or micro or mega
only what fits into an image
an eye
for natural beauty
showing us her world
things we pass by
things we step over
and on
an eye for form
a weaver of light
and color
weaver of images
that one can warmly
wrap themselves in
her shuttle moving through
the important threads of life
seeker, seeker of beauty
oh honest beauty
flows from the lens
honestly focusing our eyes
to the intricate world
that lies beneath our feet
leading us to the truth
without a sermon or a song
