Won't You Be My Valentine?

winter rains and spring-like temperatures have made getting out with my pochade boxes a delight

(I've even added picnic items to my day kit)

Well, I've been off the grid for the past two months -- communing with Nature, prepping for this year's adventures, and working on the second book in the North Cascades series (and having a grand time of it all.)

the warm sunshine has rendered my free-range subjects very cooperative

(after the sketch is completed I can even indulge in a little light reading... or snoozing)

But, while I've been completely unplugged from social media I haven't forgotten my friends. And, with February 14th this weekend, I thought this might be a nice time to send everyone a little Valentine's Day "gifties."

join us as we explore "our" river, or for our grand adventure in Ireland

So, if you haven't had the opportunity to read/experience all of my enhanced ebooks, this week is your opportunity to get a FREE copy of one (or all four!) If you own an Apple device (iMac, MacPro, MacBook Pro, or iPad) -- or, for that matter, if you know someone who owns a Mac device -- and have internet access you can go to the iBooks Store at iTunes and download any, or all, of my titles free beginning Saturday, Feb. 14. The offer ends Monday, Feb. 16, so don't delay.

find words and images that inspire, or join me for 6 weeks in the Cascade Mountains

If you like what you read and see you can even extend the Valentine's gift to your friends too. (And. if you'd like to post a review of your experience, that would be most welcomed too.)
