At the Seashore with
Medea
A Marriage Unravels in Athens
Greece, A Love Story: Plum shadows
outline the Parthenon. This buttress of land, the art
upon it – defying time and Turkish detonations
– are so ancient. The moon even more so, a
bruised apricot. My woes, suspended briefly between
the two, have no weight.
Eyeball
to eyeball with Canada’s migrating salmon
BBC Travel: My brain froze as I submerged into the
cold water of British Columbia’s Shuswap Lake. But the
discomfort paled as I watched sockeye salmon –
hundreds of cherry-tinted fish with moss-green heads –
swirl overhead like a kaleidoscope. At the end of an
epic 4,000km journey, they were waiting to swim the
final leg upstream to spawn and die.

My father wore an apron, not a suit
and tie
Oxford Mail: "He did the the school run, the grocery
shopping, plaster-application, biscuit dispensing and

them.
Calm
as a Hurricane's Eye
Winner of a Lowell Thomas bronze, adventure
Road and Travel: Everything in Honduras is slow, slow
as I've never experienced. Heat leaches muscle fiber,
skeletal strength and all ambition. Coral sand grits
under my bare feet, after the espadrilles unlace. Even
the lightning pulses long and lazy on the ocean's
horizon. Tropical diving downshifts yet another gear,
if such a thing is possible.
Guyana: Running Naked in
Paradise
Travelgirl Magazine, photos and text: From baby-cradle
water lilies to stretch-limo river otters, South
America’s only English-speaking country surprises. But
can it push further – protecting its tropical
rainforest and indigenous culture – with a clever
carbon-offsetting plan?

Tangled up
in Wild Blue
Single State of the Union: The ship
slid from the dock, my dreams churning in its wake. I
wanted so very badly to go, go, go, get gone from the
tulip fields, the silage and sleech of Skagit Valley.

Salon Magazine: Ye Olde England still exists in all
its imagined splendour – that is, if you overlook the
busted pipes and bigoted redneck neighbours.
