Free Desktop Wallpaper for November 2014

Lake McArthur near Lake O’Hara in Yoho National Park

As a little bonus for my friends and followers every month I provide a free image for use as your desktop background wallpaper on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Each beautiful photo is a picture that I have created and it always includes a calendar overlay for the month. I know that I’m always looking for a calendar and having one on my desktop or phone wallpaper is very convenient!

For the 2nd time this year we made a trip up to the Lake O’Hara region of Yoho National Park to go hiking. This was only a 1 day trip and the intent (hope) was to see the Larches in their full fall colors before the needles fell for the winter. Although we were a couple of weeks late for the Larches, the area is still one of the most incredible places on earth and it was well worth the trip.

While there we hiked the Big Larches trail from Lake O’Hara past Schaffer Lake and up to Lake McArthur. This is a hike that we also did earlier in the summer when McArthur was still frozen. It was pretty amazing to see the difference that only a few months in a very short summer make. There was plenty of snow on the ground on the first trip while there was none on the 2nd and the lake was completely free of ice. The water in Lake McArthur is the most brilliant blue you could ever imagine a lake to be. It was a perfect place to have a picnic and do some exploring before making the descent back to Lake O’Hara.

This months calendar image includes Lake McArthur the plateau on the west side of Lake Mcarthur. The brilliant blue waters of the lake provide the background for the image!
