Pictures

The use of the following pictures was donated by Harry Bowden, Nature Photographer. Harry is a wonderful man, and he was the first to give me permission to use his photos, I thank him for that. If you are impressed with Mr. Bowden's work please visit his site. He was kind enough to give the use of his copyrighted photos to allow you to enjoy the beauty of this world in the Medicine Walk, so please let him know how much you appreciate him!

I found these at Northern Images Gallery. Dennis O'Hara may be the man behind the lens, but he gives God all the credit. "...my hope is that you may see through the scenery into the face of the Creator." Dennis doesn't ask non-commercial users for payment for his photos. He says, "...if you feel the pictures are of value to you, please make a donation of $1 (if you can afford it), to the Salvation Army in your own local community." I think that anyone who enjoys his photos should honor his talent by "paying" for a few if they can.

These photos came from Bill Hark's online collection. Bill says, "Children notice things such as butterflies, bugs, frogs and other critters. As people get older, they are often too busy worrying about the rent or where their children are to notice details such as butterflies." If you haven't seen butterflies in a long while try visiting Bill's Lepidoptera Photos website, or... follow your kids around outside!We do!

Avatars/Props

I have made use of some of the beautiful works of Cicely Mary Barker to make props suitable for use in Sprite's Medicine Walk. I adore the childlike innocence that comes through in her portrayals of the fey. I turned several of my favorites into props, or borrowed the props of others as they too borrowed from these wonderful works. The illustrations I used were taken from "A World of Flower Fairies" by Cicely Mary Barker. The book I borrowed from wouldn't even be in print if not for the Estate of Ms. Barker, so I would like to give a formal, and hearty thank you to the Estate of Cicely Mary Barker, for keeping the Flower Fairies alive!

Cicely Mary Barker was born in Croydon, South London in 1895. When Miss Barker created the first of the Flower Fairy books, the unassuming artist had little idea of the immense popularity that her Flower Fairies series would enjoy. The Flower Fairy books were written and illustrated over a period of 25 years, beginning in 1923 with Flower Fairies of the Spring. Cicely's timeless watercolors capture the innocence and, playful joy of children, and each flower fairy is also a fanciful representative of a British flower or tree. Cicely painted her lovable creatures until her eyesight began to fail. She died in 1973 at the age of 78, shortly before the 50th anniversary of her widely praised Flower Fairies books. Now, more than 20 years after her death, Barker's artistry continues to charm and delight a world-wide readership. Illustrations taken from "A World of Flower Fairies" by Cicely Mary Barker.
