Talkin' Clouds on Thursday

Join me this Thursday, September 21, for a live Mountaineers Books webinar. I'll be talking about my new book, A Sideways Look at Clouds, providing you some tips on how to talk about clouds, sharing some photos of spectacular clouds, and answering your most pressing cloud questions.  All you need is a computer to register here and to watch the webinar from the comfort of your own home, office, bucket seat.

The webinar starts at 7 p.m. (PDT). Perfect timing for dinner with the clouds if you're on the west coast. On the East Coast? How about a Cloudy Happy Hour at 4 p.m.?

Busy Thursday? Use this link to request a link to the recorded webinar for viewing later. This webinar is co-sponsored by Black Hills Audubon Society (my local chapter in Olympia, WA). 

Don't have an hour?  Check out this video trailer for A Sideways Look at Clouds.

Don't have a minute? Order your copy of A Sideways Look at Clouds directly from Mountaineers Books. Books are also available on Amazon (Kindle and print) Powell's, Barnes and Noble and your favorite indie bookseller. If you'd like a signed/inscribed copy shipped to you, contact Browsers Bookshop in Olympia.

Got no time at all? Just look up next time you're outside. You might see this:

Enjoy this song by Peter Horne, "Little Bird, Little Boat, Big Ocean.” Written about the Marbled Murrelet, but the lyrics work well for the Pigeon Guillemot, too.
