  Wild Neighbours
  by Carmen Mandel-Cesáreo

  Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora) / / “We are blessed by the existence of a conservation area abutting our wooded property. New acquaintances with many a wild neighbour bring thrill to our lives. Fom the largest to the smallest of the forest dwellers, each creature is a jewel and something to be appreciated and respected. White-tail Deer, Red Fox, Coyote, Cottontail, Frog and Toad, myriad birds from the tiny to the raptor to Wild Turkey, Raccoon, Bat, glittering insects and more. / / “Humane solutions seek a peaceful co-existence with those hungry wild dwellers who may, occassionally, turn the lid of the litter bin or, during nest-building season, engange in a noisy pecking then a franctic drilling of our wooden house. / / “Our property certified as a Wildlife Habitat and we are for a safe co-existence with all dwellers who find a home in it or venture through it. / / “Like this pretty frog Rana aurora. Strangely enough, New England, USA, is not its range (Vancouver Island and coastal British Columbia, south along the Pacific coast to northern California; introduced populations in Nevada). She paid me a visit only once and left a life-long impression after her beauty and uniqueness. / / “This image is meant to carry such message of conviviality.” / / / Image, concept and art © Carmen Mandel-Cesáreo / / =========================================================== / All proceeds from the sales of this T-Shirt will be donated to: / / Teaming with Wildlife / / The Teaming with Wildlife Coalition includes conservationists who support the goal of restoring and conserving the nation’s wildlife (USA). / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- / Carmen, creator of Art for Conservation

  Orchid Face
  by Carmen Mandel-Cesáreo

  “She lay quietly among other flowers. As if unaware of her intense beauty, she humbly shared a crowded stand in a farm. She whispered by my ear and I turned. My eyes were filled with her regal colours as my heart halted. Her glowing face nodded at me. / / I indulged myself in the contemplation of her sheer beauty, her intricate face, her lovely petals and her delicate patterns. I wondered whether she was missing the feeling of warm damp soil, the company of foliage and the caress of misty rain”. / / / During my travels in Thailand and Cambodia, I reveled in the extraordinary and fragile beauty of the Orchid. A large-scale illegal trade and other threats decimate their environment. / / Currently, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCNR) list 100 Orchid species in status from vulnerable to critically endangered. / / / Image © Carmen Mandel-Cesáreo / / / —-—-—-—-— / Artist statement / My photographs are not enhanced; they represent the true nature and colours of the subjects as captured by the lens. I never lure my animated subjects to come close to me: spontaneity is the key. / / This is an original image and not cropped. / / / ===================================================== / I donate all proceeds from the sales of my Orchid photography to: / / The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCNR). / / The IUCNR bring together 83 states, 110 government agencies, more than 800 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and some 10,000 scientists and experts from 181 countries in a unique worldwide partnership. / / / /
