The Writing Life
1,000 words
I believe that carefully chosen words are worth every bit as much as the pictures that surround them. Whether it is on paper, in books or online, text is a paintbrush that can be wielded as artfully as piano keys or tempura. Good writing is simple, but not easy. Though there is some fun involved! Such as:

• Describing sustainable travel.
• Exploring the American outback.
• Finding my European roots.
• Visiting the 'galloping glacier.'
• Expert ski techniques at Whistler.
• Exploring the real West.
• Fried scorpions in Beijing.
• My own home neighborhood.
• Dresden, Coventry & real peace.
• Amazed and bemused by wildlife.
• A kid at 55 in Disneyland.
• Walt never cooked stuff like this.
• English around the globe on Worldhum
• On the Trail of Tears in Arkansas.
