Trust Territory, Micronesia
Photograph by David S. Boyer
A mushroom shaped island rises from the crystal clear waters of Micronesia. Formerly called the Trust Territory, Micronesia possesses only two-thirds the land area of Rhode Island, yet lies scattered over an expanse of ocean comparable to the contiguous United States.

托管领土，密克罗尼西亚
摄影者：David S. Boyer
一座蘑菇状的小岛从密克罗尼西亚极度明净的海水中浮出。曾作为托管领土的密克罗尼西亚仅仅拥有相当于罗德岛三分之二的领土面积。但它们散步于广阔的大洋之中，因此其领海面积可与毗邻的美国相比。

Cape Cod Boathouse, Massachusetts, 1996
Photograph by Michael Melford
A small boathouse in a field of flowers reminds one of the song by Patti Page:
"If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air,
Quaint little villages here and there;
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod."

科德角船屋，马萨诸塞州，1996
摄影者：Michael Melford
一个小船屋静立于鲜花盛开的原野之上，这中种景象让我们想起帕蒂·佩姬的那首歌：
如果你喜欢沙滩和咸腥的海风，
以及遍布的小小精巧村庄；
那你一定会爱上这古老的科德角。

Red Poppies, Tuscany, Italy, 1998
Photograph by Bob Krist
Between vineyards and ricotta farms, a field of bright red poppies dazzles those lucky enough to drive along the undulating hills of Tuscany. According to author Frances Mayes, Tuscany is "the sweetest countryside I know, where inviting roads wind off into fields punctuated by abandoned stone houses."

红罂粟，托斯卡尼，意大利，1998
摄影者：Bob Krist
在葡萄园和乳清干酪工厂之间，一地鲜红的罂粟吸引了那些有幸沿着托斯卡尼起伏的山脉驾车而行的人。根据作家Frances Mayes所述，托斯卡尼是“我知道的最芳香的乡村，诱人的乡村小路蜿蜒穿过由废弃石屋点缀的田地。”
文字编自1999年《国家地理旅游者杂志》5月/6月《弗兰西斯·梅耶丝在托斯卡尼》，图片为此文拍摄，但未刊发。
