But we may not go afar.
Our dearest daughter has fallen, broken her ankle badly, and will be immobile for about three months -- or so the doctors say. So, travel plans are shelved. For now.
Instead, I'm thinking of hosting a few travel blogs, perhaps one or two a week, to those places I hope to go one day.
My primary research interests remain: Scotland, Tasmania, and here in the states, the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada. Of course my lens is curiously set at mid 19th Century, but if I can't go physically, perhaps online will do to get a sense of the colors and shapes of the landscape and perhaps a bit of the history as well.
What do you think? Any locations to add to the list? Memories of places once visited you'd like to visit again? Should I invite others to guest blog?
I'm remembering a crowded pier, sea lions basking in early morning light, somewhere south of Neskowin and Newport. Hot coffee before driving further south. Flower gardens and then the redwoods.

That's a lovely idea Beth! If I wasn't so harried trying to finish edits I'd love to write you a guest post on Turkey. Well, if it's a few weeks from now I might manage to do it?
Good morning, Deniz. Turkey is one of my favorite places. I'd love for you to do a blog. Email me when it's convenient for your schedule. I have photos if you don't! May your editing go well. Beth
Meant to comment on this post earlier...however, I do hope your daughter is doing better. It sounds like quite an incapacitating injury.
However you may present us with faraway places, Beth, I enjoy your travel posts immensely. Oh, and I, too, have such a love for the 19th century, mostly the transcendentalists and romantics but also the idealism of those hundred years.
I am thinking of you and yours, Beth.
