Hi, I’m Caren. I live, walk my dog, and take photos of flowers, in our nation’s capital, Washington, DC. We get a bad rap here in the swamp sometimes, but the truth is in the shadow of the nation’s actual Capitol, where I live and raised a family, is a great neighborhood full off remarkable gardeners. It’s their work that started me on this journey, during the pandemic, when we craved beauty like a drug and were so lonely we got a dog. Since then, both the dog, and the flowers, serve as a constant reminder in a place where it is easy to be cynical that there is beauty, and pure goodness, in the world. Since then I’ve traveled and brought my obsession with looking, really looking, at what nature made for us, to other parts of the country and the world. I hope you enjoy what I’ve found.
