Hi my friends!
For those who live in the area – an invitation! Join us if you can! If you’ve seen me present on Roadtrip with a Raindrop before, this is changed up a bit with more emphasis on the natural world that the Mississippi River nurtures and sustains. It will include the video and a book signing. It’s FREE but you do need to call to register. Hope to see some of you there!
Love, Gayle
If you're a member of AAA and you live anywhere in the Midwest, the March/April issue of Midwest Traveler Magazine has likely just landed in your mailbox! The cover shot from the Charleston, Missouri, Dogwood Azalea Festival and the cover story that begins on page 21 is a recent assignment I completed for the publication about spring Flower Festivals around the Midwest. If you don't get the magazine, just click here and you can read it! Lots of FUN road trips for your Spring! PS - If you follow on Facebook, you know that I've just returned from a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, where I was LUCKY enough to be able to witness and photograph the current and rare formation of lava flow called a "fire hose." Stay tuned for a blog post here and I'll share some of that adventure with you! Have a great Monday!! Love, Gayle

Hello my friends!
I am thrilled to share this with you!
I AM HONORED TO BE WORKING FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!
I have been hired to provide content and photographs for an amazing new travel-planning website about the Mississippi River. Here’s a sample – an essay and photos called “Local Voices.”

The website is a massive project that has required 18 months of work and the efforts of hundreds of people and I am excited to be a part of it! Let me know what you think!

I remember well the moment I took this photo. I was bundled in boots, hat, gloves and multiple layers of jackets and I was FREEZING! I watched this great blue heron walking on the snow on those spindly little legs, wading in the frigid water and fishing, seemingly not the least bit uncomfortable. What a miracle, I thought! How does he do that?
Teeheehee! I asked my ever-amazing creative consultant, Linda Palmisano, to dress up our little raindrop for Christmas! Here she is to help with your shopping and tell you about the limited-time offer of FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the U.S. Copies of Roadtrip with a Raindrop: 90 Days Along the Mississippi River will be signed by me and can include YOUR personal message.
