Evocation of Flowers In praise of flowers in pictures and words. Flowers of the wayside photographed in the lanes of Devon and popular garden flowers mostly from the author's own garden. The vibrant images tumble across the pages in a fluid and expressive style. Each one is a combination of several photographs and original artwork all by the author. Each picture is accompanied by a selection of verse specific to the featured flower. Many are originals written by the author in various forms including amusing, descriptive and reflective. There are also selections from Shakespeare, John Clare and B. Paine, A. Marvel, W.H. Davies and J. Masefield. All combining to produce an unusual and original book.

Carol Preston was originally from the Wirral, Cheshire and went to college in the West Riding of Yorkshire. She has been involved with art and crafts in many different genres all her life. For a short time she lived in Cornwall where she exhibited mixed media paintings of the Cornish landscape. Since moving to Devon she has embraced the digital age using photography and the computer to develop her own style of work including textile designs printed in Birmingham. She believes that everyone should experiment with the new, the digital world is there for all to use. Hence this book is another step forward.
