About the Cover

The cover photograph was taken near Quinby on Virginia’s Eastern Shore by attorney, journalist, and naturalist Emily Mears Grey of Onancock. She writes, “The image captures the many serpentine guts, typical of the lower Delmarva Peninsula seaside, teaming with marsh life and characterized by tidal wrack. Intertwined amongst the Spartina alterniflora (salt marsh grass) is the Machipongo River — a tidal creek, not a true river.” Grey has an undergraduate degree in biology from the College of William and Mary, a master’s degree in fisheries and wildlife management from Virginia Tech, and a law degree from the Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, Alabama. Awards for her work include first place in photography in 2008 from the Virginia Outdoor Writers Association. Grey’s works can be purchased at http://www.emilygreyphotography.com.
