Other writing: In addition to writing a hiking column and two books (one co-authored), I have written and published poetry since the mid-1970s, some under my previous name, Karen Waring. I will occasionally post a poem or an essay -- it's not all about being outdoors.
You can view my images on my Flickr account at http://flickr.com/photos/karenseyes/ In addition to outdoor photography I look for design in other locales - I find beauty just about every place I look, not just mountain trails.
On days I'm not in the mountains I visit local parks, rain or shine. The camera goes with me everywhere I go. 
I find that as time passes I see the world through different eyes - hence, "Karens Eyes".
I often hike where photography is the focus, not necessarily 
getting to a summit or a named destination.
