Free Desktop Wallpaper for February 2012

Red Maple Leaf on White Snow Free Desktop Wallpaper 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. 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 is very convenient! This months wallpaper image is from a recent trip to Winfield, BC (about halfway between Vernon and Kelowna) to visit my parents. There is a beautiful park near there home that we often take the kids for a walk and to play at the playground. It had snowed the night before and I saw this maple leaf perched up perfectly on top of the fresh blanket of snow. I love the strong contrast of the red leaf against the bright white snow. Enjoy!

Free Desktop Wallpaper for January 2012

Total Lunar Eclipse over the Calgary Skyline Free Desktop Wallpaper 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. 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 is very convenient! This months wallpaper image comes from Scotsman's Hill in Calgary and features the total lunar eclipse as it descended over the city. It was the perfect situation as the eclipse and the full moon aligned with the sunrise on a beautiful winter morning. The fact that the timing of the moonset and the sunrise allowed for the rich blue sky and some detail in the foreground while also leaving the moon visible. Normally if you photograph the moon in the middle of the night you will see only a very bright moon and a very black sky, so this timing was perfect for photography. I was also very excited when I calculated that the moon and the skyline would align from this vantage point on Scotsman's Hill.

Free Desktop Wallpaper for December 2011

Duck on a Bridge Free Desktop Wallpaper 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. 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 is very convenient! This months wallpaper image comes from Carburn Park. My kids and I went for a walk in the woods at the back of the park. As we came up to the bridge over the stream we discovered this female mallard standing on the bridge. She stared at us as we approached, almost as if she were daring us to cross over the bridge. We watched for a couple of minutes, but then carried on. She scurried off the bridge and down the path in front of us. When we took a sharp turn onto a side trail she immediately circled back and hopped back up on the bridge. It was really quite funny! Fortunately the light at the park was beautiful and I was able to create a nice image to remember the situation.

Free Desktop Wallpaper for November 2011

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. 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 is very convenient! This months wallpaper image comes from the prairies east of Calgary. I haven't spent a lot of time out there recently, but for several years I drove the dirt roads that criss-cross through the prairie farm fields on an almost daily basis. I spent many hours searching for migratory birds and wild animals, and of course looking for beautiful landscapes. We took a family trip to the prairie to create a family portrait for our annual Christmas cards. I didn't have a firm idea in mind as to what I was looking for other than that I wanted to do something on the prairie, maybe making use of a big bale of hay, an old barn, or a grain bin. Something like that anyway. So we drove around to see what we could find. It was a fun time and although my kids were pretty goofy the whole time we managed to get a few usable portraits. It's much harder to photograph my own family than it is to do other families! While we were out I also found this beautiful prairie landscape that I had to capture. It was a wonderfully warm day today and the sky and clouds were lovely. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do! Download To install the image as your desktop [...]
