Rock cairns populate the hidden gem known as Buddha Beach at the Cathedral Rock Vortex along Oak Creek in Sedona, Arizona. There are literally hundreds of tiny hand crafted rock piles, made from rocks and stones along the shore. As I (Deborah Carney) was photographing the tiny (and not so tiny) rock structures I knew they had to be paired with quotes and sayings from Buddha. I hope you will enjoy this journey through Buddha Beach paired with some insightful quotations. The photographs in this book are taken by myself, my daughter Liz, and her son Alec. All the sayings in the book are attributed to Buddha. Buddha quotes need to be read slowly for the meaning to come to you. Many are open to interpretation, which means you will read the meaning you need to see and hear. Each photo has its own message; you might have to look hard to find it. We are where we are supposed to be, when we are supposed to be there. Deborah Carney, 2012

Butterflies have always fascinated photographers and writers Deborah Carney and Vinny O'Hare. In this book they share the first in a series of books featuring their photographs of butterflies with quotes, proverbs and poetry about butterflies. In addition to a quote or poem on each page, the butterfly is also identified. Each of the books in our Butterfly art and photography series will have the butterflies identified. A Butterfly Lights Beside Us A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam...and for a brief moment it's gloryand beauty belong to our world...but then it flies on again, and althoughwe wish it could have stayed, we are so thankful to have seen it at all. Author Unknown All our butterfly photographs are taken of live butterflies in the wild or in sanctioned butterfly conservatories.
